This Side of the Wall - Michael Gardner - Metaphorosis Magazine - 0 views

  •  
    Today was my day to choose a disease. Mama was heavily pregnant again. She was stirring a large pot that bubbled away on the stove, filling the air with the aroma of milk and oats. Sage, Lentil, and Chilli were crawling around Mama's ankles, squeali…

The Draining - Matt Hornsby - Metaphorosis Magazine - 0 views

    Escape Pod 655 And Then There Were (N-One) (Part 4) - Escape Pod via Instapaper https://ift.tt/2S6ToQ0 Back in my room, I stripped my wet clothes off and replaced them with another T-shirt and boxer shorts.
