As the final days of 2014 wind down and we look forward to 2015, this week’s contributors aid us with a little self-reflection.
In Jenna B. Morgan’s short story, “The Coefficient of Friction,” a college professor comes to terms with her changing life.
In Michael Estabrook’s poem, “At McDonald’s,” people-watching at a fast-food joint causes the speaker to turn inwards.
In Paul Alan Ruben’s short story, “An Actress Prepares,” a single mother, unhappy with her acting career, makes a dire decision.
