Under The Overpass

“Under the Overpass”

Every Friday morning, a new tag appeared on the wall beneath the 9th Street overpass. Always the same mark—sharp, angular lines in black paint, no name, no crew, no flair. Just a single, deliberate glyph, like a warning, or a signature from someone who didn’t care to be known.

No one saw who did it. No cameras caught it. The city workers stopped bothering after a while. The ...

The old ceiling fan turns in weak circles over our heads, the squeaks echoing around the metal room, the sound so constant that my ears have accepted it. To me, the squeaking is silence now. Come to think of it, I've accepted a lot of irritations around here. The way that lazy guy, Spike, sprawls out on the only couch and ...

Happy Fucking Birthday

D.R.Radke

“How can I decide a fate for myself that I’ll never have to experience?” The man said. His hands restrained behind his back. While a thin yet steady stream of blood ran down his face. Pooling slightly in his right eye, causing a scarlet blindness to overtake his vision. His left eye had an obvious occipital fracture, rendering it useless with swelling and tears. The day wasn’t supposed to go this ...
