Opposite the Party
“Even as she thought it, she knew it was impossible to make everything overlap in a way that satisfied her.”
Shit Plate
“To some of us who sat with Mike at lunch every day, Shit Plate felt like a good thing that we were doing, like charity work.”
Dogs Who Break My Heart
“This was true, but the dogs whose bowls I filled only just outnumbered those I injected with pentobarbital, running my hands along their backs as their eyes filmed over, just the way a skin of ice settles still and foggy overtop the glossy water of the creek.”
Items of Value
“I don’t know what the break-in meant to me at the time, but it was like a stray thread, a thread that, once I tugged upon it, unspooled my entire world and snagged open a portal through which I could escape.”
Hungry Robots
“Hurting someone for their own good is easier than she thought it might be.”
