The Bridge of Eternal Happiness
Dinesh was humming one of his own songs in the next room as Savitri lay half-naked on their bathroom floor. She'd thrown up on her sundress and felt too sick to move. He'd come home from a night out with friends at the annual reggae festival on the beach and…
Shelter for Memory
In the violet dawn, Las Torres emerge from the night, spectral. A three-quarter moon fades by degrees, its ghostly glow gradually dimming between the transitioning light and ephemeral clouds, vanilla, periwinkle. Conversations thin in the narrow two track, mud crusted with frost, the wheat-like grasses grey and bent beneath the…
Sylvie, Alone
Sylvie was sixteen when she met him, and very quickly he became her life. She had been quite bored when he came along, so part of it was finally having something to do with herself, but another part of it was his eyes and his mouth and the way he'd…
My Turn
He was pressed up against somebody else and I wanted it to be me. She was saying “no, no,” and trying to squirm away in her stilettos as he pushed himself into her against the wall, breathing beer breath into her cleavage, his eyes hungry and drooping. He was trying…
In the Dust
Neicey walked down the familiar street. Nothing had changed much in the five years since she'd been kidnapped to the cold, remote world of Michigan from the Louisville she still loved and would always think of home. She hadn't really been kidnapped, she just liked to think of it that…
Crossing the Swamp
The swamp is alive. It speaks to me in the language of yellow galoshes slap-squish-sloshing through thick mud. The swamp is a serenade, it buzzes, ribbets, and plonks as I skirt it, too closely, Mama always says. I want to know how close I can get without losing one of…
A New Map of the World
Mahmood leans against a low wall and closes his eyes. He listens again to the sounds around him, lets his ears travel to their furthest thinnest points, and then the sound of it comes to him, his homeland prayer, and it sings to him, higher and higher, a repeating throb,…
A Murder of Crows
“I have to tell you about Granddad,” Mama starts and sucks down air. Blows air out like a stuck valve unstuck. She pulls me to her lap, tucks my hair behind my ear. I yank the neck of my white nighty, the one I cut the lace off of because…
Ask Again Later
Soon after I turned 13, my mom convinced my dad to have a swimming pool installed in our backyard. Not a squatty, aboveground pool, but an honest-to-goodness sunken pool with a diving board. We lived in Ohio, so it wasn't a practical purchase, and Dad only agreed to the pool…
Watermelon Juice
When I was seven years old, Mama gave me a little seed, dropped it like a snowflake into in my chubby hand. Back then, I was a giddy little girl who wore tattered jean overalls everyday, over a stained white shirt and hole-riddled sneakers. My hair was a brownish sandy…
Anointed
I think it started then—the day I killed my dog. Bumpy sat between us on the silver metal table, his liquid brown eyes curious as he looked from one of us to the other. “He pees in his sleep,” I said. “He's deaf; he can't see. He's senile. It's just…
The Snake
Once in bed, Letty waited for Fred to start. It took twenty-three seconds and then, kabang! “Fred,” she said in a regular voice. “You're snoring.” He rose slowly and went downstairs to sleep on his Barcalounger, which sat a few feet from the front door. Letty waited until she heard…
