… it’s a metaphor about how our hearts are broken and keep breaking and nothing, no person or thing or act, will ever make us whole. Malls, OJ, relationships and a trip back in time make for a fascinating story! Congratulations, @stephanieaustin.bsky.social 👏👏👏

After the men leave, Shaila licks the cylindrical bones left on Tahir’s plate, her tongue rolling over spots where his teeth had tugged and teased the flesh away, where his lips had sucked in the marrow. What a vivid, engaging story from Sara Chansarkar @fictivedream.bsky.social 💜

I'm mildly desperate for orders of Issue 19 of the magazine.

Please give it a try. www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...
