VARYING BOTTLES OF WINE Part 1
Peggy Jo Farr
Between the jagged flashes of bright lightening and the reverberating thunder it was hard to wait out the severest thunderstorm of late summer. Then the power went out!

THE EXECUTION
OF THE
REINCARNATED EDGAR ALLEN POE
R. D. Carpenter
“Father, you are the dignitary of the church responsible for the confessions of the condemned, are you not? You come at such a late moment. I assume your late arrival to be a trepidation resulting from your callow experience with matters of such necrology.

Their color smearing the ground.
