“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, fore...

“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.

“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 o...
