Dreams Can Change You - Part 1
By Jamie Lou

Somewhere, in the distance, Kim’s phone warbled. And again. She rolled over, awake, barely, recognized the ringtone, dragged the phone off the nightstand, rolled back onto her pillow and thumbed “Send.”

“Dale. Dammit. It’s—” she looked to the clock, “It’s frickin’ eight o’clock—”

“Kim! Kim! Listen,” Dale interrupted. “I’m a woman!”

“Oh shit Dale, I know you’re a wo—”

“No. No. I’m a whole woman. My prick’s gone. I got a cunny.”

“What are you—? You’re not making sense.”

Saturday Afternoon In The Kitchen

By J. L. Wendelin

Recently I found a box of my mother’s pictures and sat at the kitchen table looking through them. Little did I know that my trip down memory lane would lead to a conversation with my daughter about a subject I’d long avoided. Kelley, at 15, was old enough now to understand – probably well past; the subject needed to be broached. I’m a wimp and always hate the hard parental subjects such as sex, drugs, drinking, smoking – and the occasional bad grade. However, we have a good relationship, better that most I think, and I’ve always answered her questions about anything she’s asked. She’d never asked about this before; I never volunteered. She would today.
