Fiction

Raindrops by E. M. Sole

The world spins around me as I twirl, my music the soft pattering of rain, my audience the clouds, grass, and trees blowing in the wind, swaying to the music of the storm, and also the small shiny wet faces peeking from under leaves.

Fiction

Hold the Line by Molly N. Moss

Narrated by Bob Eccles   Clouds of bloody mist erupted in a burst of popping sounds like firecrackers exploding. Through the scope of his light machine gun, Vincent watched a now-headless teenage boy fall face down in the snow. Steaming blood pumped from the ruined neck. Vincent's stomach lurched. The LMG fell from his shaking [...]

Fiction

Scream by Jez Patterson

When the three of them loped into his studio, overplaying the role of moody artists, Brian wondered at the lack of instruments. Only for an instant. You got all sorts.

Fiction

There was a Song about Them by Radio Free Clear Light

There was a song about the houses, the little boxes made of ticky tacky… you know the song perhaps?

Fiction

The Garden by Katanie Duarte

I closed my eyes. My arms opened wide like wings, my feet left the ledge; my body light and weightless. I was flying.

Fiction

The Queen’s Arrival by Therese Arkenberg

The black river flowed, strong and deep, across a gray plain as flat as a sanded tabletop.

Nightingale by Andrew Stancek

You didn’t show. Three months past the expiry date of our marriage and I still believed you. For weeks your little jumping-bean practiced songs, elated that her daddy was coming for her birthday on an arrow-plane. I put up the glittery balloons in the kitchen and waited. When Talia ran in for birthday breakfast and [...]

Dropping Names by John H. Dromey

Murphy was more of a daydreamer than a doer. In an acid test of his resolve to simplify his life, he put his latest thought experiment into action. He quit his part-time job as a pet sitter, donned a hazmat suit and dropped off Schrödinger’s cat at the nearest animal shelter. Whether the test animal [...]

All for a Credible Irreality by Peter Baltensperger

And then there were the drummers again, parading up and down and along streets, marching complex formations in open fields, drum majors with their gaudily decorated staffs at the front, flag bearers and matching sets of flag twirlers in front of them.

Honeydew by Wendy Hammer

There’s a bowl of chilled honeydew melon on the nightstand. The glistening green cubes bristle with crystals of fleur de sel.

Poetry

Belch by Jason Sturner

The planet hasn’t been this warm for millions of years. Jungle is the new skin.

Kosode-No-Te by Sandi Leibowitz

Narrated by Sandi Leibowitz   Cherry-sprigs on almond silk In the vintage clothing shop this kimono speaks to me How kissing-ripe your lips will look against my cherries, it seems to say “One hundred years old,” the shop woman informs me. “Very special.” The mirror shows me shuddering in its soft wings less courtesan than [...]

Regretiquette by Gerry Norton

In glowing rainlight we soak on this glum ramble. We swallow beration like boiled sweets; it sticks in our throats.

Introduction to LI Fiction by Guest Editor AJ Brown

I recently arrived home from the beach.  Yes, the beach in November.  Who does that?  Apparently my family.  It was cold and windy and I had to wear layers of clothes to keep from freezing.  I still had a good time looking for shells along the shore.  I found a few nice ones, but more [...]
