Never married. No children. Kimberly is her sister, two years younger..” Carol looked for the sunlight to sleep in. She curled up onto the heated carpet. “It’s almost 3 and it’s…” Carol yawned. “Tuesday…Time for the Magical Martin minutes.” Jane ignored the narration from Carol. Then she heard the purring.

This was one of Julian Parallax's Galleries. The former house was in an industrial area of the city. It was her first visit. “Go to the curator. He’s up front in the red tie. Tell him you want to buy the portrait of Corey and Girl in a field.” Luna leaned into the person next to her. “Did you hear that voice?” The man looked at her and then sc...

That’s a Terrible Idea…What Time? What Could Have Happened Helen pulled out of her racist gynecologist’s office parking lot. There was a red truck in front of her. OnThat the back of the truck were a set of metal testicles and a “my body my choice” bumper sticker. She glanced at the clock on the dashboard; it read 5:57 pm. She knew it was going to take her a half-hour to get to Lupe’s house. They were leaving at 6:45 p.m. The guy in the truck seemed to be trying to get the parking attendant’s number. She was giggling, but...
