		<description><![CDATA[Writers constantly challenge themselves to say the most they can in the briefest of sentences. There have been entire contests devoted to stories told in just six words, entire anthologies of six-word memoirs or six word stories from individual groups of people. These stories are tiny testaments to the individual, fleeting human experience. Now, it is our turn.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the baptism, before the morning, it had been night. Syria’s father sat on their porch, in his low pitch, talking.  She noticed, startled, that winter had laid siege to his head and looked then to her mother who stood, hushed, across from him. Her hair was a curtain of color giraffing down her neck and Syria, bewildered; staring at them felt a sharp attrition: the swift shift of tectonic plates.
<font color=white>.</font>
Syria knew it was not just his head captured by winter. His mind skidded too. On Sunday’s he struggled to hold the thread of his sermons, swinging, like the church incense—gentle to fervent; changing in pattern so suddenly that its seams would ruck and gather. No one objected; silence congregated in the crowd. And Sunday after Sunday they covered his transgressions like footprints in the snow.

sewn at the launch of freedom. Walk
from church to the bar cross the road,

both places dark, shaded from the heat
of horizons. No need for eyes to adjust.

		<description><![CDATA[Cami keeps pointing so I stick my neck forward, and narrow my eyes.  It’s hanging low in the sky, leaving a ginger trail behind, a solitary traveler on its way toward the horizon. As it sinks and lights different parts of the sea, I know Cami is scanning the waters for Lusca.  The folklore is that Lusca—the sea monster—lives in the waters of The Bahamas.  But Cami believes that her spirit also travels through the rain.  ]]></description>
