Homecoming
By
Dilman Dila
(Uganda)
When he reached the coffin the Mayor
grabbed it by the small end and started to drag it away. The lid fell off
and the body began to slide out.
“Out of here! He's not my son.”
Myrna
on the Bus
By Ric Jahna
(USA)
It had been Walter’s idea to sell
the Vermont home three years ago, not hers, and there is really little
left for her in Florida. Being around so many others her age—the talk of
operations, estate taxes, bowel movements—only makes her feel older, part
of some wretched herd.

"The horrible greed of it all. The
greed. Now the jungle will take over again like it always has. All our
efforts will be reduced to nothing."
Sujit
By Siddhartha Som
(India/USA)
Sujit insisted that I have dinner
at his house. On the way there he dropped a bombshell: He said he
had named his son after me. “Siddhartha, I admired you so much all my life
that I could not think of a more appropriate name for him.”

refuge.
