Metamorphosis By Sara Codair “I keep getting worse,” I say looking down at the black veins creeping towards my heart. “You should not have let the demon bite you,” replies Raquel.

When I decide to write a flash story after spending the day grading papers, I end up writing stories inspired by cat toys. “Flying mouse-squirrel-bird Thing” is one of those. My cat has this crinkly, furry toy that is flattened like a flying squirrel but with the face and coloring of a mouse. It has strings danglingContinue reading “Flying Mouse-Squirrel-Bird Thing”

Finals Week and Chicken Soup
As the semester comes to an end, it can be hard to remember to eat at all, let alone eat healthy. This was true for me when I was a student, and still is true now that I am a teacher.
