That is a painting by Ron Walker. We've been working together for a couple of years, and I love his work. It's featured on two of our issues.

Poem "The Wasteling" by Michael Borth

“In the coffee aromatics of teacher / And office. Of classroom and marijuana car. Stilted in / The energetic wasteling chant was torn from the magnet / To strum infinite mirror tunnels.”

Good evening world of sky.

Please enjoy this quiet, contemplative piece from the #flash #fiction contest by @zaryfekete.bsky.social.

It focuses on an everyday object, and in doing so in an introspective, poetic way, makes the ordinary sacred.

A story not for the timid, Barlow Crassmont gives us a risk taking narrative with a relentless pull toward an ending that likely steps on a few toes. And hey. That's what we like around here.
