War Horse
     This is the story that they tell you.       A boy raises a horse and they go through a lot together and it’s pretty sentimental but then the horse has to be sold in order to save the family farm and the boy is really sad but the horse goes through a lot of crazy shit and somehow survives each time through battles and charges and travel and fire and the boy joins the army and fights and...

Pil Sung 필승
     Last night when I was ice skating at the local rink I saw a former Tae Kwon Do instructor of mine. It was one of those moments where a glimpse or a memory just begins to flicker in your mind as the person passes you, and you end up turning around before you’re aware of yourself, calling, “…Linda?”       She must be really old by now, maybe past seventy or eighty....

Ghost Crabs
Ghost Crabs by B.R. I was told once that our field was cursed it was dry and nearly unused, sure but cursed? I scoffed. It wasn’t until we went exploring that night to the green, newly loved grass that I knew what it was. As the moon dusted the trees and the blades whistled mournfully the spirits came up out of their holes and danced, sideways, like crabs  Ghost Crabs (A Parody) by S.B. Out...

Story, The Real Life Version
Mess of timber you tempt me forth and I know your call completes me, frees me, makes me,  leaves that I love.  Crunching under the weight of  our collective conviction, because here we can re-enact scenes from movies the way that they were intended to be, of our own free will, without feeling silly, genuine expression without hesitation, not like the way that others leave at the first sight of...

Why am I in Chicago.  The memories of this place are so strange to me. This town, the people, they don’t change, they don’t grow. They’re still thinking the same way they always have, floating in the same direction they always have… it might as well be four months ago, now. Why am I here? Why hasn’t anyone’s direction changed? Why hasn’t yours? Why...

They Died In Vain
     We had no reason to be there, no progress to make. We sold the war in Iraq to the American public by claiming selfless intentions, and we sold it to those hurt and mourning by claiming justice and order. We did neither. More could have been done to fight extremism and oppression if we changed the way we thought, changed the way American people thought, changed the way the world thought. If we...

My winter break is way too long and horrifically useless to me but if nothing else I suppose I could use it to write e-mails and texts and Skype people… although even if I took half of break to do that, I probably still wouldn’t be able to get back to everyone… Sometimes I’m such a fail at replying/staying-in-touch… and I neeeeeed to change that.

Ghost Town
     For once I cannot stand the idea of returning to that midwestern suburb town and sitting down for some kitsch and uninspiring brand-name coffee.      All of you will ask us about life and the future and for once I will stay completely silent while the rest of them speak about their fraternities and about sleeping in class and semi-interesting guests and other boring things that most freshman...
