JANE GIRE
----------------------------------------------
"Green Piece"

Soon we found ourselves alone in the office. We both were picking up cans and bottles left over from the planning party. We were both standing over the glass recycling bin. Our eyes met long and hard; it was the kind of eye contact that changes things. My hands were shaking so hard, one of the bottles I was holding slipped out of my hands and fell into the bin clanking and banging all the way down until it smashed onto the bottles below. We looked into the bin, back to each other and then his lips smashed onto mine.

SARAH MATSUI
----------------------------------------------
"Hello, Boar--You Must Be Hungry"

It's 1994 in Hawaii, the water is cold, the sky is velvety black, and six-year-old Sarah is night diving with her dad. When something bright green flashes ahead, he takes off with his flashlight and spear, and leaves Sarah to fend for herself in the middle of the Pacific. Maybe later she can ask questions about family and what stories get passed down. But for now, shes focused on staying afloat.

KENNY YUN
----------------------------------------------
"Klingon for Mom"

Its 1:30am. Kenny is paralyzed on the couch. Bay Area new agers told him to move on so it should be easy. Texting him memes of unicorns shitting zen quotes and rainbows fixes everything, right? But mom died. He cant move. Lying there for nine hours. Nothing has worked for grief but willing to try anything. He crawls off the couch. Lights candles. Burns incense. Chants Klingon

NINA G.
----------------------------------------------
"Stutterer Interrupted: The Making of a Stuttering Stand Up Comedian"

Nina was supposed to be calling to coordinate a project for work and knew she needed to stay within her professional boundaries but she so badly wanted to connect with the woman on the other line. Only 1% of the worlds population stutters and of that 1% only a fourth of those are women, so this was a rare opportunity. Instead of connecting, Nina stayed professional and missed the chance to connect with this young woman. Or did she?
