Issue #31 finds the doomsday clock ticking down twenty days from the apocalypse. It’s full of liars, the lost, and the lonely, floating in fog and hungry for cake, eggs, and kink. All that plus Ginsberg, Khalo, and a magnificent tower of giraffes. bit.ly/3UPikhq

It’s an old story: everything was coming new. Layers on layers of new. New neighborhoods gridding out like dead stars. At new airports tequila was green, snacks vacuum-packed. The clouds pearl-piled. Stores were new; registers silent, smooth as eggs.

Just found out one of my favorite flash fiction writers has never read Das Kapital and doesn’t even know who Foucault is. I’m shattered. Can’t fathom how you write 200 words about being sad at work while not knowing about the superstructure. Total intellectual irresponsibility

"A sofa floating in the fog. Inside, declining, I sink in sweet softness. 6 a.m. Everything’s fine. A head chopped off by a machete. Pre-recorded. Unfortunate."
