LINDA SALDAÑA: By Starlight

Artistic, Submissions, , ,

Sleeping outside, away from the din of the city, they had a window into the glitter of a million worlds, and all it took to blast their minds free of Earth-bound problems was to stare into galaxies just hanging there, waiting for the next trillion years to come and go.

Linda Saldaña is an escaped tech writer now addressing the meaning of life 50 words at a time – or maybe a little more. Recent work can be found in Poydras Review and Every Day Fiction.

LINDA SALDAÑA: Hamster

Amusing, Submissions, , ,

Carolyn shows up agitated, out of kilter. We feign concern and lean in for what could possibly be a delicious story.

“Mother is in jail,” says Carolyn. “She shot the neighbor’s hamster.”

We gasp. “Jail? For that stupid hamster?”

“The problem is,” says Carolyn, “she was aiming for the neighbor.”

Linda Saldaña lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to assure everyone that no actual hamsters were harmed in the creation of this story.
