Sharang Biswas | Season of Weddings
March 28, 2024 05:00 - 25 minutesTo be fair, the first one is work, so he doesn’t even get to pick his outfit. But an olive-scented breeze squirrels joyfully through his hair; waiters bring out little triangles of flatbread smeared with soft, spicy cheese; and the wine has a buttery quality he hasn’t encountered in decades. It’s marvelous. It’s been such a long time since he attended a wedding. At the last one, Thor ate so many of the hors d’oeuvres that he hadn’t been able to finish his dinner. Nate wants to tell Thor how g...

March 22, 2024 00:31 - 20 minutesIf a robot stands alone in a field, staring into the forlorn distance as it obeys the last order it was given by a human, that order being, “Don’t move until we come back for you,” which it can remember uttered with a cruel sneer by a man who has taken a cruel dislike for it, the kind of man who will not be coming back.... | © 2024 by Adam-Troy Castro.

Angela Liu | An Incomplete Body Has No Answers
March 14, 2024 11:44 - 12 minutesYou don’t know why you ask because you already know he can’t answer. A body is only a body when it has all its parts.

Will McMahon | Fragments of a Symbiotic Life
March 07, 2024 08:58 - 10 minutesI was born normal enough, except that I was four days late, which isn’t so much, and slightly jaundiced, which isn’t unusual, and had a raccoon for an arm, which is admittedly strange.

Shingai Njeri Kagunda | Let the Star Explode
March 07, 2024 08:52 - 36 minutesThe last picture that Karu has of her father alive is on the day of her graduation.

Sloane Leong | A Saint Between the Teeth
January 04, 2024 11:54 - 58 minutesKharatet moistens his sightless eyes with his tongue as he draws his finger across the limestone tablet glyphs.

Adam-Troy Castro | Seed
December 22, 2023 12:00 - 1 hourThe two of us, myself and this man I did not know, sat at a table in a windowless white cell with an indefinite light source.

November 16, 2023 06:00 - 32 minutesI didn’t want to eat Joshua, but he turned into dust, and the way things go in Carrucchi village is that if someone turns into ashes you inhale them till there’s nothing but smoke in your lungs and redness in your eye.

Isha Karki | Muna in Barish
July 27, 2023 05:00 - 58 minutesMuna shuts the storeroom door as quietly as she can. Holding a just-waxed bundle of letters to her chest, she sticks out her head to check the bookshop floor. If she walks between the shelves on the far right, she can slip out unnoticed in ten heartbeats. The main door of the bookshop is propped open, the sun shining after what feels like a year of sodden clouds and sludged streets---she can’t wait to feel its warmth on her skin. | © 2023 by Isha Karki.

JB Park | Six Months After All Life on Titan Died
July 06, 2023 05:00 - 15 minutesI need a binge-worthy banger about the incident on Titan. Let’s start with that one picture from Titan that leaked, the one of the weird fishes in those underwater ruins dying.

Dominique Dickey | Spaceship Joyride
June 08, 2023 05:00 - 39 minutesThe most beautiful boy you have ever seen in your life is hot-wiring a spaceship. It’s an objectively unsexy spaceship, insofar as a spaceship can be unsexy---a six-seater built like a 2008 Honda Odyssey, a car model you’re only aware of because it continues to appear in memes. The boy is decidedly not unsexy, though. His name is Eddie, he’s your xenobiology lab partner, and he’s currently bent over the spaceship’s popped hood. | © 2023 by Dominique Dickey.

May 25, 2023 05:00 - 1 hourCrunches and shrieks buffeted the Magellan LLC smartship as it plunged into Enceladus’s kilometers-thick ice crust, making their way to the subsurface ocean and the rival LuxeSpace corporation’s station situated there. Warning signals flashed through Jarrell and his fellow shipminds’ readouts, but they followed their orders and continued inward. They’d long since learned to ignore such dangers---the digitized brains of former human corporate-soldiers that controlled smartships could afford to...
Kat Howard | One Heart, Lost and Found
May 04, 2023 10:02 - 25 minutesI came to the city to find an egg. A robin’s egg, to be precise, an oval of pale, perfect blue that echoed the spring sky. Inside, not a robin, but an emerald. Inside the emerald, a wizard’s heart. He had decided he missed it, and he wanted it back. It was the usual sort of thing, or so he had assured me. His heart taken out and stored for safekeeping, a place where his enemies---and certainly there were many, jealous of his power---would never think to look. So well hidden, in fact, that he ...
Amanda Helms | The House, the Witch, and Sugarcane Stalks
April 27, 2023 10:02 - 18 minutesThe house wakes from its somnolence as the witch trudges up the path made of tarts. Through its rock-candy windows, the house scans her figure for any signs of hurt. The witch’s errands in the city make her nervous. And the house, being made of her magic and therefore of the witch, worries along with her that the wrong person might recognize her, or simply think they do. | ©2023 by Amanda Helms.

Brian K. Hudson | Virtually Cherokee
April 06, 2023 10:01 - 52 minutesWhat I observed was a giant anthropomorphized ribbon microphone, the type one might imagine standing in front of a radio announcer and his studio audience, selling soap in the dirty 1930s. It sauntered lazily over to an overstuffed red couch, walking on stick-figure legs that looked like they’d been hand-drawn by a young child. The large red couch sat next to a five-foot tall elephant ear plant. | ©2023 by Brian K. Hudson. Narrated by Scott Peterson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit me...
