Fiction

from THE ABYSS OF HUMAN ILLUSION

By Gilbert Sorrentino

Mundane things, pitiful in their mundane assertiveness, their sad isolation. Kraft French dressing, glowing weirdly orange through its glass bottle, a green glass bowl of green salad, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, its paper wrapper still on.

Tragic Strip

By T. Motley

Did You Fart, Mommy?
