Fiction | No Regrets, Coyote

“That was enough, in my mind, to explain why I felt like a feather being lifted by some sort of artificial breeze every time I exited my life to enter Vic’s. Like a door slamming and me floating across the Bay Bridge in one instant. A kid’s adventure.”

By Carina Cain

Fiction | Moon Launch

“He looked directly at me for the first time, and I saw those same flecks of hazel in his irises that had once made me think of sunlight peeking through the redwood trees nearby my childhood home. Now, they were just colors that were a part of his eyes.” 

By Emily Hoang


Poetry

“My eyes flicker as the moon eclipses / and blue night dangles like a crescent / over my wooded backyard.”

Poetry | light beam

“Wisteria’s wandering down the archway in dusky purples I grasp / as I trip on my way out of the courtyard, / carrying your gifts of sweet flowers and tahini.”

By Natalie Anderson
