Stone Of Madness Press,

Penny

A 108-word piece of micro-fiction, based off the phrase 'a penny for your thoughts'.

Hadassah Shiradski

Stone of Madness Press,

PAGE PROMPT

inspired by RL Stine’s “Give Yourself Goosebumps” series [1995-2000]

Lucas Scheelk

Stone of Madness Press,

An Exercise

Second-person, five-part prose poem about the power of capitalists to manipulate the world and crush workers who resist. You know, fun stuff. I hope that in the aftermath of recent mass unionizations and strikes, this piece will become less relevant.

Eleanor Ball

Stone of Madness Press,

m.h. buried in women’s clothes

you – see – we hardly knew you hunched long-backed over yourself ribs upon ribs upon ribs dig yourself a home in the dirt soft sucking heat and see the way your palm cups my waist see the way your flat feet fit right into mine ...
