Short Story

Seeing Grey
When they came for me, I had visions of the future. Me, handcuffed, caged, life ruined. That is, more than it was already. Shamed. Like I'd done the biggest poop on the deepest, creamiest carpet. Oh boy, I was in so much trouble!

The AC was turned off by who?
That June night's stifling heat was intolerable. Rose shifted and turned in her bed, urgently searching for a cool place on the covers as sweat dripped down her back. Nestled on the outskirts of the city, her little apartment had always been a haven of comfort. But tonight there was something different. There felt to be something awry.

When the Whining Winners Won. Content Warning.
All they wanted was to end abortion and put a gun in every baby’s hands. On the day they won the first battle, the great rejoicing drowned out the screams of the rights they were treading on. And, having won, there was a great increase in births. Not necessarily the ones they had wanted, but a win is a win. Right? Soon, the whining winners got sick of hearing how they did not care for the newlyborn. The ones that were overwhelming the front steps of firehouses. The ones that overflowed the orphanages they would not fund because that was the duty of the church, any of them. Just take your pick, it's like there is one on every corner (though some church treasurers, crying into their chalice cups, were slowly coming to regret the monster they had created). Instead, they used the money to fund ad buys about the wonders of adoption and how easy it was, until they got sued for false advertising. Most of their ads tended to overlook the policies the whinging winners had put in place to block certain…non-traditional couples from adopting. Surely that was not the answer to the problem. No matter what poll after poll told them. It’s not how they felt.

Synthetic Tears
It was beautiful here, wherever here was. The forest slept under a blanket of constant fog. Lush green foliage leaned into the mist, waving with the light wind of a grey afternoon. There was a lot of grey here and less sun than she expected today. This week. This month. It was grey, grey, grey with fog or rain. Today, rain. Tonight, most likely fog.

To the Gentle Beast, Apathy
It started like any other morning. I woke up, rolled out of bed, shuffled downstairs, and started putting on the water for my tea. This is when I realized things were less typical than they had seemed. First, I noticed my forearm and hand were covered in grayish fur. Moving down, I saw my fingers, still five, just like before, only now the thumb and index finger had migrated to the side of my hand. The remaining three were centered at the top of my palm. What sort of devilish night terror was this?
