Consequence. Top Story - January 2025. Content Warning.

As soon as the torchlight fell on that face, all three screamed loudly. But they could not believe that this was the same Ava they knew.

my sister's city. Top Story - January 2025.
I don’t tell anybody where I’m from. If they ask, I say I’m from ‘here’, or just outside a major city, or Canada. Nobody asks for details when you say you’re from Canada. I lie because there’s nothing in my hometown but weeds, and the cemetery, and my sister, who paints things that aren’t real and faints a lot. If you saw her paintings, you’d recognize them. She’s famous, my sister. Famous and crazy and fainting.

The Claw Machine. Top Story - January 2025.
She was passed out with a little black book beside her, when little Joseph decided to run away from home that day and go to the carnival. He tugged and tugged on mom's arms but nothing would wake her. Nothing at all. Feeling the anger in him well up he stomped and growled and said mother from a low aching voice that ached within his belly. Mother had been tired for days and she promised him they would go today because it was the last day and if they didn't go today the carnival wouldn't come back for a whole nother year! "MOM!" Why wouldn't she just get up? He kicked the beige sofa with his bare foot immediately feeling his foot radiating with an aching pain. "Darnit Martha!" Little Joseph mimicked his father, who had now been gone for thirteen days. The water had been off for one week and the lights had been off for two not that anybody was counting little Joseph would overhear his mom tell his aunt Lucinda. It was July and the big room was hot. Joseph shook his head. He wished something, anything was back to the way it was. He wanted his dad back. His mom didn't seem like she was there either. He wanted to eat something besides noodles. Nothing seemed fair right now. He spied some crumpled up dollar bills under the sofa where his mom was still sleeping, a few quarters too. Joseph wasn't really mad at his mom; he just wanted to get out of the house. He knew the way. He could go come back and she probably wouldn't even wake up by then.

Howling. Top Story - January 2025.
"Oh my god, isn't she precious?" Jeannie cooed. Marcus had to admit she was right. The dog was awfully cute. She was tiny, couldn't have been more than a couple of months old. Dark brown fur and ears way too big for her body. There was a little sheet of laminated paper taped to the window with the pet store logo and some basic information, a kind of doggy dossier.

Absence of Light . Top Story - December 2024.
It is said in the folklore of vampires that they cannot cross running water. Last night I learned, while reading the book Haunted America by James Willis, J.K. Kelley, and Love Belvin, that ghosts are said likewise to be repelled by bodies of water. The authors, though, assured the reader that this is, in fact, not the case. While vampires are said not to be able to cross the running water that must symbolize purity, baptism, and the salvation of the Majestic Christ, ghosts, not manifestly damned in the same way as vampires, are attracted to the currents of water, according to the authors, because the human body, the "mortal coil" they have shuffled off, is made largely of water, the electromagnetic energy conductor that generates the spark by which the discorporate entity can manifest in our world.
