Pandit Yad Adnan and the Hottest Month
By the time Sri Venkata Narasimha Rao fled Russia for Somalia, he had acquired three new names, two pairs of sunglasses, one linen suit of a color best described as unsuccessful pistachio, and a theory--unsupported by meteorology, theology, politics, common sense, or any other branch of human inquiry--that a man pursued by the consequences of his past ought always to travel south.

The Day that Hell Froze
Everyone says that they will do something "when hell freezes over," and they mean that as a way to say that that will never happen. This story starts the day right before, in my mind, hell froze over and is about what happened to me on that day.

Things We All Pretend We Know How to Do
There comes a point in every person's life when you realize something deeply unsettling about adulthood: nobody knows what they're doing.

Heat Makes Everyone Weird. Top Story - August 2026.
“All this rock and concrete is making me eggboiled, HEEHEE!” She swept the sweat from her hairline with the back of her hand, then pressed a tissue against her scotch‑tired eyes. She could’ve used the tissue for both, but she didn’t care. Her features were magnificent, and her head was small.
