THINK OF A NUMBER • by David Klotzkin

September 5, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

“I read minds,” I told the man across from me at the speed-dating table. He cocked his head skeptically. “I do. Literally. Think of a number.” He did and I read him. “Three-point-one-four-one-five-nine,” I said immediately. That was pi, an… Continue Reading →

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

June 27, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment
