Abstract

Featured fiction:

A feather.

Yes, that’s what it is. The kind of feather you see on the tail of the rooster in the chook yard...do you remember him?

He’s the only rooster in that chook yard. With those handsome tail feathers, casting themselves across the dry scratched earth of his empire, in long darkened shadows. And in those shadows, did you see the twisted, naked fingers curving into the earth trying to dress themselves in the puffs of dust rising from his incessant scratching?
