Short Story
With Thy Grace
Christian’s mother hadn’t given much thought to his name thirty three years ago when he was born, but in his current life, it proved to suit him very well. Christian Hartfield was used to not having much money since early childhood so as an adult, living cheaply and sparingly was something he was very used to and in a way, very comfortable with. He figured he was lucky enough to have stability that he couldn’t really complain about anything else. Especially not if someone, somewhere, in an invisible realm in the sky above him, was watching and judging his every move.

Atilla's Box
The humans do strange things sometimes. Atilla sniffed the box suspiciously. It didn't smell like anything alive. It didn't smell like food. It smelled like the newspapers and books and delivery boxes and so many other things made of paper and cardboard that his humans drag into his home. He had no idea why a paper-wrapped box would be in the middle of his kitchen floor, but he was certain that it was something that the humans did.

One Foot out the Door
I walk into the room mid conversation and there’s no recognition that I am there, a usual response to my arrival, but tonight it can be blamed on the music and the people that serve as more of a distraction than good company. I shrink past the crowd in the kitchen to the solo cups waiting to be filled with anything strong enough to empty you of emotions so well you’ll be convinced that you can feel again. I am drunk, I am high, and there was mention of Molly, but Hannah went upstairs with Brian 20 minutes ago and she’s the one who bought it off of her brother's roommates. I wonder if they already took it. Someone should warn them that sex on molly just creates an unrealistic expectation for how deeply you’ve bonded with the person, practically the birth right of a toxic relationship. I fill my cup to the brim and lift my head. I’m surrounded by strangers, less like the people you don’t know, and more like the familiar one you no longer recognize. I make eye contact with a girl I had biology class with in high school and I quickly look back down at my cup. After standing against the counter, trying to find my sober mind in an addicts body, I decide to refill my drink and step outside.

Hex
The old barn held more than memories Grandma had insisted for years that we don't tear down the old barn, but after it finally collapsed in the storm, there was nothing to do but salvage the fallen lumber. Dark lines of grain, emphasized by age, told the story of the oak beams and planks hardened by season after season of sun and cold and ice and rain, and my contacts in the city paid good money for it, enough to pay for a modern steel barn.

Big Al's Cake
Sometimes a gift isn't a good thing “Haven’t I already done enough for you people?” Seth’s hand shook as he held the coffee close to his lips, spilling a little over the brim of the mug, but wincing a little as the hot fluid splashed on his thumb. He took a slip, but kept the mug in front of his face to hide that he was talking to the two men sitting behind him in the next booth.
