Do You Fear What I Fear?

by Robert L. Arend ...

The more she aged, the darker Abigail Tucker's solitary world had to be. Electric lights cost money. The cost of those twisty bulbs meant that, when the cheap but no longer made bulbs died, another lamp became only a decoration that needed dusted like her many knick-knacks spread on shelves and stands. She dreaded the three months left of winter that required so many blankets when watching ... Read more

Deadbeats

by Robert L. Arend ...

Had ICS been telemarketing products instead of debt collection, Reed knew he would never have made salesperson of the month. He would have quit the first payday and lied to his mother that he had been fired for being too honest with the customers. Though educated first by management in consumer protection laws, his supervisor had privately encouraged him to ignore those guidelines if they proved, ... Read more

The Engagement Game

by Robert L. Arend ...

Andrea had created The Engagement Game eight years before, after the failure of her first marriage. She had edged the pink tapestry with red and gray squares that could fork into the path of the heart or into the storm. All of that weaving and stitching had helped her to survive all the hurt and the hate she had felt in the aftermath of a bitter divorce. He had never loved her, only pretended to ... Read more

The Little Drummer Zombie Boy

"O, Jesus, sweet Jesus, thank-you," his mother's trembling voice was what Jared heard and her distraught tear-streaked face was what he saw when he dared to open his eyes again.A few feet away, his father stood, arms folded and expression wary. "How can he be alive? His brain's almost all gone."His mother cradled Jared's face to her bosom. "He still has some left," she argued. The boy could feel ... Read more

David and the Outside

by Robert L. Arend ...

Stephen Hawking roamed the classroom in his powered wheelchair, undeterred by the narrow space between the rows. He simply passed through the desks and his students like every hologram instructor did."The Higgs boson, though isolated, has never been observed directly," his voice buzzed. "The question, therefore, has yet to be answered as to whether human observation would or would not have an ... Read more

Twins

by Robert L. Arend ...

Renee was reminded of that moment, eight years before, when her life froze and lost all hope of ever having any meaning, when she had been sitting alone on the school bus (nobody ever took the seat next to her) and gazing through the window. She'd been seventeen, thinking about the senior prom she would not be attending. Beside her own transparent reflection in the glass, she'd seen the face of a ... Read more

Under The Tree That Owns Itself

by Robert L. Arend ...

"You're a single mother," the F.B.I. man stated, not questioned."Yes," Christina answered flatly, determined to resist the implications of being interrogated like she was white trash. "What's that got to do with anything?""No husband." Again, a statement."Not lookin'. Are you?" she countered.Agent Lawry noisily pushed his chair back and crossed his legs. "No husband. No boyfriend.

Born to Run

by Robert L. Arend ...

Michael was the lead story on the six o'clock local news. The too-clear surveillance camera footage showed him running on the edge of the traffic lane to grab the old lady's purse. She would not let go, and their tug of war caused her to fall backward after he finally broke her grip. The tape showed him what he had not seen in his haste to crouch and flee between parked cars to get to his ... Read more

The Butterfly

by Robert L. Arend ...

Mother paused, drew the butterfly to her lips and whispered some secret before continuing her story."It was but a month ago," she recollected. "I wakened to discover your father resting on the side of our bed reserved to him throughout our marriage. To be sure, I was uncertain of his identity at first, but the butterfly's urgency, crawling up my arm and neck to nibble on my earlobe—precisely as ... Read more
