Conversation in the Dark

They lay in silence for a while. Then it occurred to Judith that this was an opportunity she had wanted for a long time, and she would be just as stupid as Tiny Emily accused her of being if she didn’t take it. “Hey, Kendra?” “Yeah, Judith?” It felt weird now that they had names for each other, but she pressed on. “What’s it like? You know. Being alive.” Kendra was silent for a while, and Judith again thought that she had fallen asleep, but then came four words. “I had a dog.” “A dog?” “Yeah. His name was Stanley. He fe

Three Million Dollars

By no means was I surprised when the first pop-up appeared on my computer screen. I had been surfing through the internet for about 30 minutes when it happened, and I just assumed it was some sort of stupid virus. Or scam. I mean, it had to be, right? “Click now to receive three million dollars! Just press “Accept”!” How wonderful, the sarcastic little voice in my head meeped. No, thank you. I quickly searched for the red “x” button on the top right corner of the message and pressed it, hoping that wouldn’t bring me to another site full of ads and even more misery. Can’t I look through my socia

I knew a girl once

A miscarriage is more than a faceless loss It's an abandoned hope and a life no one but the parents know. Christmas mornings with ecstatic excitement for the ambiguously wrapped boxes. Soccer games and the big score, and the broken leg that comes along with it. Goldfish burials in the porcelain grave to mark the loss of Bubbles. RIP. Awkward family portraits that never turn out right, but are always on the Christmas cards. Band events and the big, off-key crescendo that is worth more than any Rolling Stones concert. National Honor service projects that are moaned about, but are secretly loved. Broken hearts and first crushes, and that littl

Expat.

Hush, hush, don't you see we're letting you in as long as you don't call us out on keeping them out, and isn't that why you came here, to be accepted into our community, our little close-minded world of plenty that we fear is falling apart under our feet because of all those deprived foreigners taking jobs we didn't want, doing work we can't be bothered to do ourselves. Hush, hush, don't complain about the fat white cats with their tiny minds grabbing for every last scrap they can get, they're just trying to represent us, trying to protect us from the things we're afraid of, the things we have a phobia of (no, that's not irration

White Flag by Snapperz, literature

White Flag

In a way, I am both the luckiest and the unluckiest person in the world. I’m twenty-four, reasonably socialized, and have never experienced the pain of personal death. Sure, I’ve had distant uncles and grand-parents pass on, but no one I’ve felt genuinely close to. For that, I’m probably fortunate. However, each year, the gap between my inevitable experience with mortality and I has closed in, tighter and tighter, and as I write this, I am preparing to say goodbye to my best friend. I met the Rat, formerly known as Snowball, when I was only seven. He was the size of a small cantaloupe and skated across the living room

FFM Day 18- Bob the Diplomat

“Captain, I’m getting a reading from the device with the blinky lights.” “You are the captain,” Spoon reminded him. “Am I? Truly? Wow,” Ladle ran his hand through his greying tangle of hair and contemplated every life decision he’d made. “Unfortunately.” “Then I order you to explain this madness!” Captain Ladle spluttered, gesturing at the various consoles scattered around the cockpit. Some twinkled, some had tiny parts unsafe for children under 3, and a few hummed showtunes. “Maniacs did this,” Ladle said. “Heathens. The Cyber Granny is the worst s
