Squint for a second at the front of that menu and see if you can make out the lusty, high-heeled logo for the restaurant. Run your eyes across her stirring cleavage and raise an appreciative eyebrow at her long bare legs. Her black hair is billowing and enormous and untamed — untamable! Her eyes shining green, skin airbrushed, frilly apron tied on as an afterthought, a plate held aloft carrying an...

Capital Sam
The bullhorn squawks: “Folks I am not kidding around here.”
She says: “It’ll take him at least fifteen more minutes to ready that cannon.”
Sam glances at her. He says: “I need to have a conversation with this flunky and it needs to conclude in a particular fashion.”
“I know,” she says.
He realizes he’s still gripping her hand, lets it go. “I appreciate your backbone.”
“What do you think...

May Petroski
May Petroski at the starboard plank, stretching hamstrings, smoking. She has to do a few things before a dive. The smoking’s one—right before she goes in she takes a big drag and holds it for the entire time she’s underwater. Something to do with keeping her lungs distracted. It’s seen as an affectation by her colleagues. Then there’s the thing where she finds a person nearby to hate—not difficult...

Maggie Suwannakintho
What begins as a joke with some unsavory character at The Embers* turns into a three-year contract at White Clinic** which leads to one bad night with an ambassador from Jordan and a frenzied attack with a hotel ballpoint pen and a cleanup job that turns out to be way more complicated than anyone predicted. And of course Feddema Global, cleanup expert and important business associate of the...

Yes on Equal Rights →
My brother is putting together a campaign to make an amendment to the Colorado constitution. The amendment would change the legal definition of marriage in this state from “a union of one man and one woman” to “a union between any two consenting adults.”
He’s just getting started, never done anything like this before, but he’s learning all the hoops you have...

My Boy Jesus Christ I'm Hanging Up
The wife’s having a baby in maybe like half an hour. In my pocket is a Post-It listing all the people I should call. Mom, work, etc. Also in my pocket is an Excedrin PM and a gas station receipt. On the back of the receipt is the number of a girl I was very extremely in love with for most of high school and part of college. She liked the same albums I did.
I’m killing time in the...

Turn Me Loose
Idling at the Shell station out where the factories smell like mothballs and Wonder Bread. Radio’s playing something by Loverboy and truth be told I’m never hundred percent sure which Loverboy song is which (and P.S. I come from a town where a man’d get stabbed with whatever’s handy if he admitted that).
According to the instructions on this yellow Wendy’s napkin, a...
