Being Blue
by Shane Nelson
He turned on the radio and listened to mindless pop music while inching his way onto the freeway. He was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel when he noticed the faint blue shadows between his knuckles. Like the marks on his thighs, the blue tinge resembled a bruise.

Turning Time
by David Sakmyster
"They're good boys, they are Olsen, they really are. Even if they don't follow the old ways, even if they've left me alone here and they don't — can't help out their mother. But this, this is the Famadihana. They must come. They will come. I'll make the arrangements tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll make the calls."
She looked back to her husband, but in the soft, slowly-spreading glow of dawn, whose silky fingers poked through the canvass-draped window, she could see that his chair was empty.

Freeing Teresa
by JD Paradise
Jerry blinked out into the cold and tried not to touch together fingertips raw from the edges of photographs and love letters. "And you are . . ."
"Concerned." But the sunken eyes staring down from the hat's shadow held no concern. They held no expression at all, only a faint silver glint. The thin lips barely moved. "You do not understand the dangers of the path you have chosen."
