“A Very Real Conversation” by Douglas Goff

“I’m gay!” she said, breaking the awkward silence at the dinner table. Only moments before she had told my wife Raschelle and I that she had an important announcement to make.“Okay.” I simply answered, staring at my fifteen-year-old daughter with many thoughts running through my head. I had six kids after all, it was likely that one would be gay.“I’ve always been gay. I just didn’t tell you or Raschelle because you are ‘homophobs’ and hate gay people.”Again, her words surprised me. Cel...

“Leah's Last and First Supper” by Sharon Swan

The Master would be coming soon, coming for Leah. I had known the time was approaching; her spirit lit the darkness like a new sun. A light patter drummed on the roof, trying its best to persuade the world to slow down. The message was broken by the spray of road water from passing cars: cars piloted by those deaf to nature’s plea. The coffee pot clicked on in the kitchen, ...

As I get dressed for this big family dinner, I can feel my heart beating a million miles a minute.

I knew they all wanted to know what was going on since the last they saw me, I left for Texas so quickly and I hadn't talked to them too...

When Elon began college his freshman year, Friedrich Nietzsche was one of his heroes. In fact, at one time, Elon thought Nietzsche was a genius—until he read what he said about free will.

He did not think that everything he accomplished in life was the result of some ethereal force that might be capricious or fickle. “Free will must exist,” ...

“Praying About It” by J P Fierkens

She watched her mother’s and father’s shoes and there she saw the hopeful promise of a dust cloud. She quickly scuffed her feet repeatedly against the dirt road and whipped her head back excitedly to watch. Sure enough, a dust cloud the size of a rabbit had sprung up behind Mary and her parents and t...

“Tea, Despair & Miss Claire” by Nicole Kavanagh

I was small. I was a child again. I found myself entering an oversized, somehow seemingly sideways home. Sideways, yet familiar. We’d been here many times before. Each time greeted by a giant fluffy white dog and the sound of the kettle blasting off. Miss Claire always knew when we’d arrive, and the tea would always be ready just in time. Miss Claire was much older than my mother, but they had become great friends. After...
