"It’s not like before. I know who I am. I don’t have doubts. Even asleep, I know who I am. But I hear things. Close or way off. A train rushes by and I wonder: Is it in my head? Is it real? " Monday Reading: Addison Zeller's EVPs Captured in the Old Fort yourimpossiblevoice.com/evps-captured-…

Short story: "The Dog" on Muumuu House muumuuhouse.com/sl.05oct2021.h…

"It’s like when someone fills a basket. It looks good. It looks like the right thing. But that’s how it happens. You won’t know the road. Sometimes the largest fillers are the emptiest men." Basket Filler by Linda Wojtowick appears in issue 31! yourimpossiblevoice.com/basket-filler/

Just found out one of my favorite flash fiction writers has never read Das Kapital and doesn’t even know who Foucault is. I’m shattered. Can’t fathom how you write 200 words about being sad at work while not knowing about the superstructure. Total intellectual irresponsibility

"The day after Heinrich Scheimann discovered the ancient city of Troy, all the she-goats came down from the mountain and stated quite matter-of-factly that they refused to ever be inseminated again." from: The Oyster by Ann Pedone yourimpossiblevoice.com/from-the-oyste…

"Now, sex is boring. No, sex is something more complicated; it’s neutral. It‘s not stimulating, disgusting, or even a euphoric rush. It’s just something people do. It just exists." Who is ready for "Risky Sex" by Taro Williams? yourimpossiblevoice.com/risky-sex/
