THE UNWANTED IDEA • by Sophia Netterfield

July 13, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

A BLOCK OF ICE AND A ROLL OF THE DICE • by Jen Schneider

June 27, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

The radio coughed and sputtered. Perhaps, muttered. So many rhyming sounds in the language. The vehicle, perhaps an automobility, exhaled too. I prayed it wouldn’t expire. I needed it for two more hours. Without tunes my creative juices evaporate. It’s… Continue Reading →

THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHER • by G.R. LeBlanc

June 7, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

The rumble of a motor cut through the forest, disrupting the stillness of a cool June morning. Olen grumbled. That meant humans, and humans usually meant trouble. Over the last sixty years, their fascination with his kind’s existence had pushed… Continue Reading →

THE WAR MOVES FORWARD BY A METER • by A. D. Sui

May 31, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

The front moved every night and with it moved the war. Shimmering and impenetrable, the front advanced and receded at eleven o’clock, sharp. Without care and concern it crossed birch forest and rivers alike, and split homes where it stopped.… Continue Reading →

YET ANOTHER GODDAMN HERO • by C.L. Holland

May 2, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

I don’t know what it was about my town, but it attracted heroes like flies on shit. This one sauntered into the store in a mismatched set of armour, her hair an unfeasible shade of pink, and introduced herself as… Continue Reading →

BELLS ON THE WIND • by Gustavo Bondoni

April 20, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

Clever Elsie listened to the wind in the grass. She didn’t think of herself as clever any longer, not since she’d learned how her husband had tricked her, but the name survived among the people who lived in her valley.… Continue Reading →

STRANGE NEW HEART • by Ann Wuehler

March 29, 2022Every Day Fiction 1 Comment

I drown those I play with in the salty deeps. They struggle and scream against my lips. I kiss them, my arms like soft nets. They despair, eyes gazing into mine until the gazes lose that spark. That life, that… Continue Reading →

ELLA • by S.E. Gilbey

February 28, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

Ella was a loud and opinionated child — but also careful and caring and never cruel. “You’re such a difficult girl,” her mother would wail. “Why can’t you be more like your sisters? They do as they’re told.” But while… Continue Reading →

LIVING IN THE COUNTRY • by Chris Bruce

February 22, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

How a moose got into the cabin, I do not know. We’d been down to Rosa’s café for a hot bowl of chili verde on a cool night, and I could’ve sworn I closed the door on our way out.… Continue Reading →

MEMORY LOST • by April K. Brophy

February 11, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

I see them all; the titles people don’t know they have floating above their heads. Usually they’re pretty benign. “The Father” or “The Architect” or something else run-of-the-mill. I thought I’d seen them all a thousand times. I was young… Continue Reading →
