Chinatown<\/h1>\n

by Rebecca T. Kaplan<\/p>\n

I found a store in Chinatown, full of exquisite pens. On one shelf I noticed a severed human finger. It was swollen, distended, obviously dead a while. I bought it, curious, and began writing. From it flowed another’s stories, confessions. It tells of murderous longings. Can’t put it down. My fingers ache. Help, please. Anyone?<\/p>\n
