The
Long Journey
Vasanthi
Victor
(India)
How could she, she asks herself,
live in such a cold place?
She has always been such a warm-blooded
creature, a woman accustomed to heat beating down on her. How could she,
of all people, bear to walk with her feet covered?

Nest
Paul Toth
(USA)

is? A glorified janitor.
I won't live with a janitor."

Jojo
Malig
(Philippines)

fly across the pond diagonally, sometimes
hovering over the middle of the water; and then up in the trees the real
source of
the racket—tree frogs.
The
Transformation of Sleepy Hollow
Richard
Czujko
(South Africa)
Protests against apartheid have now
become
demonstrations against unemployment.
