Gang Store

have been born in her chest. It was the sound of a madwoman. She lowered her head and cried. Charity Camber sat on the double bed she shared with her husband, Joe, and looked down at something she held in her hands. She had just come back from the store, the same one Donna Trenton patronized. Now her hands and feet and cheeks felt numb and cold, as if she had been out with Joe on the snowmobile for too long. But tomorrow was the first of July; the snowmobile was put neatly away in the…

de claridade e escuridão. Cada estrada dizia: Quase lá. A rodovia dizia: Este é o caminho. Olhando para baixo, podemos observar uma área de estacionamento à beira da estrada, duas bombas de gasolina e um longo telhado cinza com a inscrição ROY’S STORE desbotada; quando olhou para a direita e viu, depois das bombas de gasolina, os degraus de madeira subindo para um amplo e convidativo alpendre e para a entrada da loja, ele teve a sensação de já ter subido aqueles degraus 100 vezes…

puffs. I love Italy. Eat, Pray, Love 24 I am learning about twenty new Italian words a day. I’m always studying, flipping through my index cards while I walk around the city, dodging local pedestrians. Where am I getting the brain space to store these words? I’m hoping that maybe my mind has decided to clear out some old negative thoughts and sad memories and replace them with these shiny new words. I work hard at Italian, but I keep hoping it will one day just be revealed to me,…

he couldn’t keep the beast off it. He often wondered what fate would have befallen the puppy if he hadn’t stolen him from the Mal Street yard under the cover of darkness. Rumors were that the rundown tenement housed members of one of Lynn’s street gangs, that they stole dogs and used them to train their pit bulls for fighting. With his first gaze into Gabriel’s soulful eyes, Aaron knew there was no way he could ever let anything bad happen to the dog. The two had been inseparable since.…

god, the old hatreds were drilled into new generations of schoolchildren, and are still being drilled. (Even the word "drill" makes me queasy: a power tool of that kind was often used to destroy the kneecaps of those who fell foul of the religious gangs.) When I first saw Beirut, in the summer of 1975, it was still recognizable as "the Paris of the Orient." Yet this apparent Eden was infested with a wide selection of serpents. It suffered from a positive surplus of religions, all of them…

couldn't be accused of using you, son. Why nobody could come and say to us, why, look here, University of Arizona, here you are using a boy for just his body, a boy so shy and withdrawn he won't speak up for himself, a jock with doctored marks and a store-bought application.’ The Brewster's-Angle light of the tabletop appears as a rose flush behind my closed lids. I cannot make myself understood. 'I am not just a jock,' I say slowly. Distinctly. 'My transcript for the last year might…

“Why won’t you trade with him, Sloan? I’ve no love for the Spine myself, but if it’s a question of the stone’s worth, I’ll back it with my own money.” The question hung in the air for a moment. Then Sloan licked his lips and said, “This is my own store. I can do whatever I want.” Katrina stepped out from behind Horst and tossed back her auburn hair like a spray of molten copper. “Father, Eragonis willing to pay. Give him the meat, and then we can have supper.” Sloan’s eyes narrowed…

like cattle. They could sleep with your daughters if they chose. They could order you to be flogged with something called a cat-o’-nine tails. You had to take your cap off when you passed them. Every capitalist went 114 1984 about with a gang of lackeys who——’ The old man brightened again. ‘Lackeys!’ he said. ‘Now there’s a word I ain’t ‘eard since ever so long. Lackeys! That reg’lar takes me back, that does. I recollect oh, donkey’s years ago—I used to sometimes go to…

"Will you take half my treasures?" "No," said the gardener's son. "My daughter's hand?" "NO." "Take half my kingdom." "No. Give me only the bronze ring which can instantly grant me anything I wish for." "Alas!" said the King, "I set great store by that marvelous ring; nevertheless, you shall have it." And he gave it to him. The gardener's son went back to say good-by to the old beggar-woman; then he said to the bronze ring: "Prepare a splendid ship in which I may continue…
