The Green and Red Dragon Tattoo
by Laura Shell
A misogynist gets his comeuppance from the special ink of a tattoo.
SHANE DIDN’T LIKE THIS guy one bit. Within ten minutes of tattooing the back of his right calf, he’d proven to be the largest misogynistic asshole Shane had ever met. So Shane brought out the special ink.
“Hey guy, I work better if it’s quiet in here,” Shane said.
“Oh, okay. But you have to admit that Kim Kardashian has li READ MORE...
The Artist
by Christopher Michael Blake
In the hands of the Artist every death is a piece of art.
PEOPLE ARE SUCH FOUL creatures. Physically, they are grotesque. They disgust me. Pounds of excess fat carelessly hanging from their obese bodies, along with sprouts of hair follicles springing up everywhere on their skin. Then there are the clumps of leftover food littering their crooked yellow teeth. If you even thought about getting close to a pe READ MORE...
Blood Offering
by Paul Lonardo
When the world is being ripped apart, it tears us inside out.
THE TEENAGE HUNTERS FOLLOWED the cottontail down into the holler, jumping a makeshift fence with KEEP OUT signs posted. It was the only animal they’d seen the entire afternoon, which was why they pursued it so doggedly. The two brothers, Asher and Hudson Mullins, went one way, while Liam Turner darted in the opposite direction toward a craggy roc READ MORE...

One Hundred Years to the Day
by Tim Boiteau
Bad timing is everything.
BOUND AND GAGGED, cloak barely covering her translucent flesh, Theda could only watch as one of the brigands castrated her man with a stiletto, then the other blew out his brains as he attempted to crawl away across the infertile soil.
“Cheer up now, Fair Daughter,” the man with the eyepatch said as he cleaned his knife against his thig READ MORE...
The Curse of Being Beautiful
by Elsbeth Eden
Gods guard beauty, and damn any who dare to possess it.
THE CARVING IS BEAUTIFUL. Why can’t I carve? The details are perfect, crisp as the day they were chipped from the granite four generations ago.
She is the epitome of beauty. Her statue looms to the left of the dark opening. A pointed archway into the unknown.
Though it READ MORE...
What Lives Inside My Panties
by J. Rocky Colavito
Nobody was ready for this.
I HAVE NEVER REALLY understood why the word “panties” is so skeevy to people. I mean people wear them, shop for them, wash them, and even model them for oglers online. But no, I hear they’re referred to as “underwear,” “drawers,” “skivvies,” “foundation garments,” and even “unmentionables.”
Well, they’re gonna be READ MORE...
Spanky, Slappy, and Moaner
by Hillary Lyon
A haunted hotel registers a new permanent resident.
FROM THE WINDOW OF her second story hotel room, Lara could see her dinged-up 1979 maroon Thunderbird in the parking lot. Even in the twilight, she could make out the faded sticker on the bumper: Today is the first day of the rest of your life. She’d inherited the ancient T-Bird from an old and childless hippy aunt on her mother’s side. READ MORE...
