"Shadows," by Sebnem Sanders

[ Originally published by Carpe Art Journal, October 2018. ] The elongated shadows of the houses on the opposite side of the road fell on the cobble stones, as the sun sank in the horizon. The street was empty, but she could hear children’s laughter mixed with the rhythmic sound of a rope slapping against the concrete, and the gentle thud of feet on the pavement. A soothing melody. Little light beings, full of joy, skipping solo and in pairs. She imagined them, swapping places with the girls turning the double dutch, as they practised, improving their skills. As the sun set and the shadows melted into the street, she moved from the window of her sewing room. Passing by the girls’ dresses displayed on the mannequins, the seamstress headed to the kitchen.

Special Presentation: "Damaged Goods," A Novelette by Jesse "Heels" Rawlins

"It's All A Work To Begin With," by John Patrick Robbins

Cover art by John Patrick Robbins. Shooter felt his age a million times over every morning he set his feet down on that cold hardwood floor. Beth always was up before him, of course. She was a few years younger, and hadn't been taking bumps he had taken in a business everyone considered fake. Including his own children, who pretended their father was just a guy who ran a gym in Jacksonville, Florida; not the salty old bastard who all the marks knew as Shooter Stevens— A former college wrestling standout who took that ability and made his living in the circus industry that is pro wrestling. Shooter felt every break and pin in his tired old carcass as he stood up, looking out the window to witness a beautiful sunny day upon the horizon. "Larry, Stu's on the phone. Baby, are you awake?" "Yeah, sweetheart. What the hell does he want?" Shooter's wife refused to call him by his working name, which, after spending as many years in the biz as he had, he answe
