by Ethan Goffman

One just isn’t oneself without the mind, so I realized I had better go find it. But where? Somehow, I sensed through some profound connection that my brain had wandered far, far away on a grand adventure through obscure corners of the universe.


by Facundo Rompehuevos

It's one-part surrealism, one-part sci-fi social commentary, one-part philosophical/theological waxing and one-part dark and comedic literary fiction. And Goffman is our long-white-bearded, half-mad wizard-alchemist who mixes it all together and gives us the final product, the potion, in words and sentences expertly.

While Cole went through neighborhoods and places as an observer taking notes, and Vassilakis is reporting out from a new world he’s now in, Schumacher is making up worlds and characters as he goes along.


by dan raphael

hunger or exhaustion? thirst or panic?
amnesia sparked my creativity, gestures
from a foreign language, my ribs keep wanting to flip open
unaware my feathers are long gone,
my bones a mix of libraries and waste sites


by Jonathan Penton

Enraged, I put the book away, likely throwing it dramatically, though I do not recall. It is March of 2025, and I think I’m finally ready to pick it up again.

In Alapawan prison, most of his cellmates were “separatists” advocating for the independence of Taiwan. They were able to leave their cells to do odd jobs, like cleaning restrooms, laundering clothes sent to the prison, or growing vegetables on the empty field next to the prison.

I am at the brunt of a despicable person’s mouth motoring vile and hurtful words this person uses on me just like a barf bag to pour out all his misery into me and it’s true that I am nothing to him but a barf bag who is on the receiving end of his abuse he receives from others then releases them into me


by Craig R. Kirchner

When four or more are gathered 
to bleach shattered dreams,
cleanse violent need, 
the majesty of mob
absorbs the incognito sin.

The dictators of the world
 
The dictators of film
 
The dictator inside us all
 
Burning of witches – medieval times “now”

These words kill fascists, I shall turn the gun of postmodernism they’ve been using and weaponize it upon them. These words kill fascists, “The one in front of the gun lives forever” (Lamar).
