    I wanted to . . . but held back, my eyes misting – how beautiful she looked. I gently, gently reached out, until my hands feeling the softness of her skin squeezed, squeezed tight, until the room echoed with the softness of her last sigh.

    I wanted to . . . but how beautiful she looked, golden curls cradled by a silken pillow, breath soft, in the silence. I gently reached out, my hands circled her neck, tightened, squeezed, Her eyes opened, golden curls rose with snake like fangs to draw blood. Her face lit with a smile.

    The darkness crept in, closing in around her as she realized she was not alone in the abandoned asylum. The screams of tortured souls echoed through the halls. Barely audible above the sound of her own pounding heart, she could hear the echos of distant footstep getting closer.

    Closer….

    The world ended on a Tuesday.

    The world ended on a Tuesday, consumed in atomic fire. Skin and civilization burning; the Mona Lisa and the pyramids, dust. But I survived, me in the bunker. Me and the mutants, pustule arms pounding on safety glass. Bang, bang, bang. They hunger. They want my rations; they want me.

    The diagnosis

    White walls glowed beneath florescent lights, the chatter of nurses peripheral. The oncologist moves with quiet haste. He sits on the chair opposite mine, clipboard flipping open. It’s positive, stage 4, spread to organs, terminal. I don’t hear what follows as he’s off to the next room. I sit, numb.

Christmas in the Share-house by Mandy Partridge

I spent fifteen years celebrating Christmas in share-houses around Brisbane, Australia. As a poor student, I rented rundown Queenslanders with two, three or four friends, so I could still afford food after rent and bills. I rode my bicycle to uni, work or the grocery shop

Driving the Loop by J.M. McNeely-Kirwan

Manny drove through the night on a narrow highway that curved constantly to the right, threading its way through a forest. The trees hung low over the tarmac like they wanted to take back every square inch.

Panic Attack 2 by Romana Capek

Gray morning. The clouds did not lift as the forecast had predicted. I spent a sleepless night because I drank a cup of a strong black tea earlier in the evening. I look at my watch on the nightstand; it shows nine o’clock. I am cold and trying to get warm under a lightweight summer blanket.

Life With You by Kristina Pudlewski

It was December 23rd, only two days before Christmas. Children play outside in the snow and families rush into stores to get last minute items for their holiday gatherings. But I am in the hospital with you, Max, my love.
