EDITOR'S NOTE

 

Happy New Year! We are very proud of the first crop of shorts for 2022. These three stories all introduce forces that devour and the accompanying angst or apathy.

Charlene Pepiot's chilling debut, Boarded Up, offers us a dying town apparently determined to just get it over with.

In Holly Woodward's Eye Tooth, a woman examines the vulnerability of a little girl.

And, The Hole of Beautiful Things, by Tyrel Kessinger, swallows all.

Enjoy these beautiful pieces.
