“Esther ” by Sonny Red

Esther and her daughter sat at their table enjoying supper, in their small cabin nestled deep in the wilds of Patagonia. Esther and her former partner Vincent built the tiny cabin themselves. It was evening, and all they had to illuminate the inside of the cabin were plenty of candles. The two were eating a viscacha that Esther had roasted over her fireplace which she lit by hand. Living completely off-grid, Esther had no access to running water, gas, or electricity. She was an escapee from a maximum security, forensic psychiatric hospital n...

“White Crocodile” by Sonny Red

Submitted to Contest #194

Mark Fitzgerald was the captain of a small icebreaker ship in the Canadian Arctic Ocean. He and six others of his members on the 65-footer, were headed back to Hudson Bay via the Hudson Strait. This trip in particular was shorter and was expected to be a fairly easy one, but Fitzgerald underestimated the thickness of the sea ice during this trip. Fitzgerald was not the type of man who worried easily. He had sailed over a hundred times throughout the arctic ocean in his life, through the empty, desolate, cold no-man's land. He had no friends ...

“The Wailing (part 2) ” by Sonny Red

August, 22/ 5:00pm  I took the bus to the market instead of my car. Whenever I drive my car alone I always worry that I will look into the rear view mirror and see someone or something sitting in my backseat. That was way too much for me to handle today.

There was a lady sitting across from me, and I swear on my life that her face resembled that of the Mona Lisa. It was so awful. I felt like I was going to vomit. She just kept fucking looking up a...

“The Wailing (part 1) ” by Sonny Red

I am a 25 year old woman named Donna, still living at home with my mother. I wish to be living on my own already, but the only way I would be able to afford rent anywhere would be to get multiple roommates, which I am opposed to. I would hate sharing my living space with strangers. I would also be opposed to living alone, because I hate being alone in the house. Whenever I am alone, I begin to feel very paranoid. I almost always feel like I'm being watched by something unseen, or that I'm not alone in the house. I usually tend to lock myself...

“Hupulis Great Scrupulis” by Sonny Red

My story begins here, on a dark rainy day in southern California. The rain has been picking up the past 3 weeks, and this is by far the rainiest year I ever remember having in southern California. Perhaps it's due to climate change. I was driving to my community college I attend in Orange County all the way from Riverside County. The sky was a very relaxing shade of gray. The whole ride there I can hear the squelching of my tires on the soaked street, a relaxing and oddly satisfying sound to me. I also find the distinct tapping of rain on th...
