You have a window installed in your chest so I can see what you mean. Peeping between ribs like blinds at your fist of a heart, pale- knuckled pounding. Wants to be free, you say. But my guess is, your heart is knocking for better luck than me. #vss365 (pale) #ThingsToWriteAbout (window)

Hi! The world is still shit but how's everybody doing?

Reading for our April issue will end Feb 10. If you’re not quite ready, don’t worry! Subs remain open, but we’ll move to reading for our themed edition— July’s issue will be all about subways, undercurrents, subtext & undertows, anything that moves us, somewhere under the surface. Deadline May 15!

I just started writing again a couple of months ago after taking over a year off. Haven't published in a year. So it's fun my 1st story after my break is quirky, surrealistic, & hopefully gives you a laugh. Huge thanks to The Airgonaut! theairgonautblog.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/d...
