Popped
People love to be helpless. People feel comfortable being assholes. By: Gabriela Yareliz People do a lot without consequence, now. People hide behind their delusions, phone screens, AI slop, and handles and screen names that lend anonymity. People sue others for the decisions they made and responsibility they share.

Looking Around the Salon

A Rainy Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s raining inside of my train car. It’s not supposed to be raining in here, but there is a steady drip-drip. An Asian girl held out her hand and laughed, trying to catch a drop of the mystery liquid falling. I almost opened my umbrella in here, but instead moved to anotherContinue reading “A Rainy Day”
The Pole Battle
