“Gaps of Joy, and a Knot for Love” by S. B. Divya.
Read by Nadia Niaz.
Prakash’s wife lay on a mattress as old as their marriage and as sunken as her cheeks. Devi’s hair was gray like the threadbare curtains, her body swollen and sweaty with betrayal, consuming itself in an immunological civil war. The doctor had shrugged in apology and prescribed pain medicine. “Nothing else we can do,” he’d said and left.

“Green Girl” by Erica Ruppert.
Read by Khaalidah Muhammad-Ali.
Sharp spring came, and with it mud. Cold early rains turned the still-frosty soil to a rich black paste, something that clung to your boots and spoiled the rugs. Clea didn’t care that it did.

“Dragon Fancy” by Leigh Wallace.
Read by Kim Rogers.
There are dragons everywhere!
I’ve never been to a dragon fanciers show before. I get my badge and table assignment and push my contestant, in her covered baby carriage, down the center aisle. I try to see everything at once. Did you know pygmy squiggles, with their curly fringe, come in hot pink? Me neither! And I’ve never seen a wyrmicorn before. There’s one with a glowing horn! I love dragons. I love every kind of dragon.

“The Seventh Year” by Alexandra Balasa.
Read by Graeme Dunlop.
I long to be free, I long to live large,
I make my coin raiding boat and barge,
Take what I want, do as I please,
I fear no Keeper of the Seas!
So say the men who foolishly rove
Into the depths of Casiphea’s Cove
– From ‘Seafarer’s Blight,’ a pirate’s song of unknown origin
