Pervert

Dancing on the Blade
Content Warning: This essay chronicles a healing ritual for survivors of sex trafficking with mention of rape and sexual trauma. Guarded by outlines of enormous crows, the words “You are Beloved” are painted in giant pink letters. A six-foot lantern burns as if leading the way. The artists won't finish…
Undetermined Circumstances
Oh! ye whose dead lay buried beneath the green grass; who standing among flowers can say—here, here lies my beloved; ye know not the desolation that broods in bosoms like these. —Herman Melville, Moby-Dick It was a late spring morning when I set out driving to the small unnamed creek…
Steady

Joy
We all sit in awe when the woman comes back with the drinks and lights up the one I've ordered. It's kind of dim in the restaurant and Shauna's mother—her name's Collette—has been shining a keychain flashlight all over the menu for the last several minutes trying to decide on…
Reflections

Sylvia
Illustration by Kimberly Edgar I never saw her smile—not once—not in all the months I would come to know her. Her eyes held something. I didn't know what. It wasn't vacancy. It wasn't sadness. Maybe it was rage—maybe hidden, seething rage. Maybe that's too strong. She was the most homeless-looking…
