      I’ve Served Time in Prison. Sheltering in Place is Terrifying.

      Apr 7, 2020

      A few months after I got out of prison, a car pulled up outside my apartment. I panicked. It was white, with a dark stripe down the side: a patrol car. Surely, I thought, this was it. The police were here to arrest me. They’d call my parole officer,

      Introduction: Writers And Friends

      By Jude-Marie Green

      About that cover image.

      I visit Manhattan as often as my budget allows. I have family there, but I also like touring the historical spots, like the old churches. Trinity Church in lower Manhattan is a favorite. In 2006, I walked through a few hallways, checked out some stained glass, then let myself out a side door, only to confront ancient evil in the guise of a tentacly old god!

      Or, as it’s more technically known, the Trinity Root sculpture.

      St. Paul’s Chapel in lower Manhattan had a lovely sheltering sycamore tree in front, between the graveyard and the old church proper. The church also has a premium location across the street from the Twin Towers. When the World Trade Center was destroyed, the tree took the brunt of the blast, completely protecting the church. The tree itself was uprooted. Steve Tobin made a casting (actually, he made several) in bronze of the root structure and coated it in red plastic. Through logic that escapes me, it now lives at Trinity Church, with a plastic mat underneath and visitors using it as a jungle gym.

      When I visit, I alternately hang from its brazen branches and whisper to it of the Lovecraftian gods and the colors from out of space.

      The Wordle image on the inside cover is made from words used in this anthology. Wordle art is reminiscent of poet Jackson Mac Low’s Vocabularies, and similarly intriguing. I like to think that the words were there, jumbled up, until our authors created stories for them.

      The Writers’ Orbit, as we affectionately call our group, is a fluctuating membership of talented writers. Shauna Roberts attended Clarion in 2009 and then published her first novel (a second novel is coming in 2013.) Will Morton has published many short stories and is a stand-up comedian. Camden Parish, a soft-spoken man, finished writing his cozy mystery while in our group. Chrome Oxide regales us with tales of the surf and punk music scene. Robin Walton shares his home for the meetings; thank you, Robin!  David R. Moore is a brilliant scientist as well as good critique-giver, a rare talent. Jamie Cassidy-Curtis makes killer fruit salad. Timothy Cassidy-Curtis, a retired military man, rocks the military science fiction genre. We lost our Jim Young in June 2012 just as he was finalizing the sale of a trilogy, a far-future multidimensional trek through folded space.

      I am proud to call these talented people my friends. I’m confident you’ll enjoy their stories.

      Spamhead

      By Jim Young

      Can you hear me, Mister Johnson? the doctor asks.

      I stare at the ceiling. I can hear fine, but can't answer because my mouth isn't working.

      We're monitoring you. Don't worry.  And the crew goes, two nurses and a doctor. The door closes and all I can see is white anechoic baffling.

      Even though my eyes are wide open
