Overview

Three million years from now a thought form called oufaobf will randomly coalesce into LCRW 35 at the same time as 1.2 million monkeys type it out. Which means there will be 2 copies out there in that there far future galaxy. Will Nicole Kimberling's recipe blow them away? Fiction by Danielle Mayabb or James Warner? Could be.

About the Authors Eleven stories, 4 poems, a column. A zine. An occasional outburst.

History is written by the people who write.

These are not usual days.
These are not the usual times.
This is a time of grief.
This is a time of gloominess.
This is a time of anger.
This is a time of witnessing.
This is a time to stand up and be counted.
We will support the ACLU.
We will fight for equality, inclusiveness, for health care.
We will fight racism, misogyny, hatred, and intolerance.
We will write the history of our times together.

Read an Excerpt

People Are Fragile Things You Should Know By Now
Danielle Mayabb

“Your name comes from a word that means ‘the sea.’” Fitting, for a siren.
“Let me stop you there. I hope the next thing you say isn’t that I am as mysterious as the sea, or other such nonsense.” You took a deep drag on your cigarette and exhaled the smoke through your nose. “I wish I could tell you how hard it is for people to see me, really see me, and to tell me the truth.”
I watched you smoke for what seemed like a long time, the smoke swirling away from your face and disappearing into the twilight. Away from the strange atmosphere of the bar, your presence was stronger; this obscure corner of downtown Reno became the only place I wanted to be. I had only been to the sea once, when I was a child. It was a blustery day filled with dark clouds, but my father insisted we go to the beach. The sea undulated with feral energy and a persistence that made it seem alive. I held my father’s hand tightly as we walked, and stayed on the side of him that was farthest from the water.
“You are as dangerous as the sea,” I said finally.
You smiled. “Now we’re getting somewhere.” . . .
