Fiction

Cornrows and Dill Pickles by Malon Edwards

The last time Nee-Nee did my hair I rushed for two hundred twenty-four yards and three touchdowns against Lane Tech in the Chicago Public League title game. Them dudes couldn’t tackle me.

The Guest by Zen Cho

Yiling was riding home on her motorcycle when she saw the cat.

Parallel by Eliza Victoria

Christopher had officially run out of words to describe the day. Hot, scorching, blazing, sweltering—he had gotten tired of running through his mental thesaurus, the sun getting to his head, blinding him, the sky spotless, cloudless, except for that one merciless orb, the streets unusually bright, as though lit from underneath, the streets absorbing the heat and reflecting.

Driving with Aliens in Tijuana by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Rabbits by Csilla Kleinheincz

The air was boiling above the highway, whipping up the smell of dust from the car seats, as if the road led into the past instead of to Lake Balaton.
