WENDY TAYLOR
------------------------------------------
"Namaste Motherfuckers"

When my father got sick with cancer, I moved to New York City to take care of him. It wasn't easy. Once in a while, I would swipe a morphine pill...or 2, or 3, and visit my friend Travis in Chelsea. We'd do the morphine, drink some white wine and watch "Sex in the City. It's ok to use a little morphine when you're 40 and living on a pullout sofa while caring for your Dad who has cancer, isn't it?

DARA M. WILSON
------------------------------------------
"Escaping Squares and Circle"

Tentatively , Dara sits across from the small man behind the giant desk. After years of berating and bigotry at a Bay Area tech giant, she's interviewing for the only job she can do: television watching. Martin Crane, the father of a certain Seattle Psychiatrist, holds the keys to the castle, but Dara doesn't know if she has what it takes to impress the man in the green easy-chair. She opens her mouth to speak and wonders what will come out: Winning words? Or just tossed salads and scrambled eggs?

PHIL SURKIS
------------------------------------------
"Happy People Do Not Play The Bass"

Phil fidgeted with his handwritten notecard for the whole 7-mile bus ride, resisting the urge to let the humid New England airstream carry it out the window. Now face to face with the record shop bulletin board, he was forced to make a decision. Once a fantasy, starting a band could now actually become a real thing. A really scary, real-life thing. Not feeling very musician-like, he did just spend an hour on a bus. Ambivalence was no longer an option.

JILL VICE
------------------------------------------
"A Fatal Step"

Tonight, she's got it all figured out. A silk nighty, a couple of candles, and that perfume that drives him absolutely wild. Our femme fatale is poised on her velvet chaise lounge primed for seduction, but Frank . . . he just walks on by. Something is terribly wrong. Has his career in podiatry lost its footing? Sometimes a dame has to take matters into her own hands, but good intentions can lead to . . . MURDER.
