“The Haint Tree” by Erica Dorsey

Rooster and Keisha had an understanding. Rooster was the family cat… or technically— he was Keisha’s great-grandma’s cat. It was the  family myth that Rooster had more than nine lives and just wouldn’t die. The cat was apparently old as sin and had been around for generations. It had been around when Keisha’s great-grandma was a girl, when her grandma was a girl, when her mother was a girl, and so on and so on…..<...

“The Insanity of Pi” by Erica Dorsey

You like Pi? Point. Me? I really hate pie. Alot. Because pie is really freaking disgusting! Do you want to know why I hate it? Hard Crust. It’s just such a dramatic pastry! Okay, it’s not really dramatic. I’m being dramatic. I just really hate

“The Golden Cord” by Erica Dorsey

“You have got to be fucking kidding me…..” Darius Porter said to himself as he stood behind the counter at Saver Gas and tried not to throw up recently eaten lunch. He could tell that today was gonna be a bad fucking day. He wished he had normal bad days but instead he saw fucking Dead People. “Good Evening.” Darius said through gritted teeth as he pretended he didn’t see the dead girl following the white d...

“The flip of a coin” by Erica Dorsey

Everybody knows that it’s not supposed to snow in fucking Texas. Every year the weatherman forecasts snowy weather…… and every year there’s not a speck of snow on the gotdamn grown Those were the rules. Snowy weather was just an excuse to have snow days to call off from work and school. They were supposed to be relaxing. However, that meant that Slushy Jackson was not supposed to trudging through...

“Mission Accomplished” by Erica Dorsey

It was a dark and stormy night—- well, it wasn’t a dark and stormy night. It was quite a regular night if one is being honest— but saying it’s dark and stormy makes for a better story most of the time. If one is telling the truth—- this is not a dramatic story. This is the most boring story in the history of boring stories. This story truly starts in the ice cream aisle of a grocery aisle. It’s not a special groce...

“....If you asked” by Erica Dorsey

Well....if you asked Imani....well...she wouldn't know what she'd tell you. On a good day....she could only honestly tell you that she has absolutely no idea what will come out of her mouth. However...if she had to guess why she does the things that she does....well-- she'd say it was because she felt invisible. Imani didn't have much of a life if you asked her. She woke up, bathed, went to work, came home,...

“Clusterfuck” by Erica Dorsey

Erica sat on the couch and wondered how the hell this was her life. She was thirty-three, unemployed, and currently living on her parents couch. She thought that life couldn't get much worse--- but that was a lie. It actually could get worse....and it would get worse in the form of her type-A, overbearing, perfectionist mother. She was the type of woman who walked five miles to school in the snow in two freaking directio...
