The word ‘Seagan’ has not been officially added to the Oxford or Webster dictionaries yet, but Wikipedia defines ‘Seagan’ as: “Being or relating to a plant-based pescetarian diet in which some seafood (in essence, finned fish and shellfish) is incorporated into an otherwise vegan diet.” When I first heard about this word, I had […]
Every time I think of a fork in the road, I think of the Robert Frost poem “The Road not Taken”. We did an analysis of this poem in English class in university, and it has stuck with me ever since. At the time, I thought Frost did just an amazing job of romanticizing […]
Der Krieg wird nicht mehr erklärt,sondern fortgesetzt. Das Unerhörteist alltäglich geworden. Der Heldbleibt den Kämpfen fern. Der Schwacheist in die Feuerzonen gerückt.Die Uniform des Tages ist die Geduld,die Auszeichnung der armselige Sternder Hoffnung über dem Herzen. Er wird verliehen,wenn nichts mehr geschieht,wenn das Trommelfeuer verstummt,wenn der Feind unsichtbar geworden istund der Schatten ewiger Rüstungden Himmel […]
Last night I had a dream I drove by my old childhood house in a white 1966 Shelby GT350 and picked my mother up for lunch. We drove to a decrepit little mom-and-pop diner in my hometown and went inside together. She had been telling me a conversation she had with my aunt about the […]

Size Eleven A short story written by Rinn Ever I had been at my distant relatives’ house for only forty-eight hours when they announced the trials. I remember thinking that they must have had this plan collecting dust on the “In Case of Aliens” emergency shelf at Area 51 for years. They’ve just pulled it […]
On an afternoon walk one day, I noticed for the first time that some of the Pines near our place had started to change colors. It’s nice to notice other trees like Oaks and Walnuts changing colors and shedding their leaves for the Fall, but these pines changing and shedding worried me. I looked up […]
This week, I was in a particularly doleful mood when I woke up one day and I decided to watch the first two episodes of Apple’s new show, Foundation. I must have been in a particularly susceptible disposition because I thoroughly enjoyed the escapism offered in the out of world CGI of the show. I […]
