“Aphatetic” by Tamara Mallia

Submitted to Contest #285

“A box can’t fit inside a shoe.”“Daniel, sweetheart, it’s okay. You don’t have to make sense. The doctor said it’s part of the recovery.” “I buttered my cat and now I’m dressing my work table.”“Did he say anything yet?”“The water has hands. She’s very pretty. They’re holding hands for us at the dinner table.”“Really? How sweet! What did they look like?”“They were in the river, and then they looked up and ate the frame.”“How swell! And the dog, how’s the dog?”“I got a wound, it got wings and the wings have legs and arms and hair, and then I e...

“The Trampling Artist ” by Tamara Mallia

Submitted to Contest #270

A wooden chair. A wooden table. A wooden spoon. All is well in the world. For what we strip from the Earth will be replenished. A vital life source. There are no sacrifices to be made. For our sole existence in this world is to provide, and nourish. Nobody is starving in this world.  And yet, what about those whose gluttonous greed submerges those that are desperately starving for even a morsel of food? Has the Earth’s resources been exploited?

Hopefully through Reedsy I can get to know more fellow writers! P.s. Constructive criticism and feedback is much appreciated :))
