Editor's Note:
Caitlin Horrocks, “Paradise Lodge”—“The result is unanimous; guests are always willing, even eager, to walk in rain, as if it proves their mettle. We may not see anything, Victor warns them. Animals go to ground when it rains. Nothing likes to get wet. The guests nod as if this is some great revelation, and to them apparently it is. Maybe that’s why they pay so much to come here, Victor thinks—they’re trying to visit a world where animals and humans get wet together.”Manuel Muñoz, “The Reason Is Because”—“It was tough talk from Luz, arrogant and full of her not knowing the long drag of Nela’s mornings, the hours spent as she second-guessed herself. It made Nela think of the days after the baby was born, agreeing to name the baby after Lando. The last name, right down to the Junior and everything.”Sara Majka, “Four Hills”—“The trucks were different. They were the conversation the city was having with me back then, the rumbling, infernal progress of need across a landscape, of making movement heard and felt, making progress heard and felt. It created a tremor. Reminded me of how small I was. I slept and woke to those horns. Sometimes one low, steady, constant bellow would last an improbably long time—ten, fifteen seconds of need. The horns echoing to each other, calling to each other. I slept and woke to that.”Sara Majka, “Settlers”—“He wanted to start again, but it also frightened him because there would be nothing to keep them from trying again and again until it became a repetition, each time the surface of them growing dimmer, more transparent, a father and daughter in the entrance of a café.”Kathryn Scanlan, “The Hungry Valley”—“Coming back on a winter evening, the horse began suddenly to run, and the man slipped and struggled to stay on. He looked down and saw that beneath his heels loped four coyotes, two at either flank. Their mouths were open, and they snapped the air as they ran as though to taste the warm wake of flesh. They looked him in the eye. He had never been afraid of coyotes, but now he felt his heart beating in his head and the rough breath heaving in the lungs between his legs.”Bob Proehl, “The Floating University”—“Kazia enjoys the sound of her shoes against the paving stones, the way it echoes in the empty street. She likes thinking the city has been abandoned, that at dawn the shops will not open, and children will not be shuffled out their doors to school. Left on her own, she will break all the windows, taking what she needs or wants, content knowing that no one will ever come back, will ever miss the goods she’s stolen. She’ll loot Lodz’s butcher shop first, because the meat will not keep. She’ll roast a feast over a bonfire, a pile of Baroque Polish poetry set alight in the plaza of the Wilanów. She’ll eat with her hands, tearing hunks, dripping grease from her chin. Feral Kazia in the useless and abandoned city.”
