		<description><![CDATA[by J. Westlake My boots crunched over slanting grit, the tiny stones grinding together beneath me and trickling away down the slope. They were grey boots, scuffed and worn, their true colour hidden behind the layer of orange-brown dust that had settled upon the leather. The dust of the desert. The large sun hung in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Sean L. Patterson My name’s Alex.  I’m a Jonah. If you’re not from this part of the galaxy, you might not know what a Jonah is.  Putting it simply, I make my living diving into the bellies of Viridian whales. Viridia is what we residents call the ocean planet 3223 because of its blue-green [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marie Fleming &#8220;A-l-i-c-e,&#8221; a finger traced through the sand, spelling out a name, her name. She lifted her finger and stared at the dust coating the tip of it, like ink would coat fingers after having prints taken. She blew gently and the dust flew off, but she was stricken by a bout of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Michael Simon I’ve always hated interruptions. Even the snappy little tune that played over the intercom was nothing more than a distraction that derailed my train of thought and left me staring vacantly at the all important third quarter projections. “What is it, Janice?”I snapped. “Mr. Lagace is here for his one o’clock, Sir.” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Christine Dougherty Steve took a hard left that sent me smashing into the passenger door of our old Jeep. I was still laughing–loudly and inappropriately–as the two inner wheels tried to break contact with the road. Steve shot me a quick, desperate glance. His knuckles tightened whitely on the steering wheel as we raced [...]]]></description>

His confident motives for making the trip had become utterly ludicrous to him. He stood up in the gangway and screamed: “This is all wrong! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Jahan Claes No one agrees, really, on when or why America went from world leader to cesspool of crime. Descent, it seems, is at the heart of all golden ages: America thought itself immune, but it was merely in denial. Perhaps it was the great Chicago explosion that triggered the decline, as some have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Sean Eads &#8220;For Reese Evenson&#8221; I&#8217;m thinking it began with the Star Trek episode. My brother Paul&#8217;s delusion already existed, of course, festering without the language to express itself. The television show gave his fantasy a type of shorthand, a kind of philosophical framework. We&#8217;d both failed biology in high school, and while some [...]]]></description>
