ANGELINE SCHELLENBERG: To Keep Warm

Artistic, Submissions, , ,

Parents pull children from rubble, hold them to their breasts, kiss dust from tear-stained cheeks. I push the beam off my own chest. I’m shivering. From the cold or from sobbing, I can’t tell. My father finds me. He leans down and lovingly wraps a signed cheque around my shoulders.

Angeline Schellenberg is the author of Tell Them It Was Mozart, Fields of Light and Stone, and the 2024 release, Mondegreen Riffs. Her 50-word story was selected for Best Microfiction 2024. She is a spiritual director and host of the Speaking Crow open mic in Winnipeg, Canada. angelineschellenberg.wordpress.com

ANGELINE SCHELLENBERG: Giant Silk Moth

Artistic, Submissions, Top Stories, Touching, , ,

The kind of human who can walk through a dump and see wings, Michelle believes people make too much of distinctions: hair vs. headscarf, bike vs. cane, breast vs. scar the shape of the crescent moon. Butterfly or moth—both so beautiful. Even caterpillars, she thinks, wrapping her quilt tighter.

Angeline Schellenberg is the author of Tell Them It Was Mozart (Brick, 2016), Fields of Light and Stone (UAP, 2020), and Mondegreen Riffs (At Bay Press, forthcoming 2024). She hosts Speaking Crow: Winnipeg’s longest-running poetry open mic. See more at AngelineSchellenberg.WordPress.com.

Rudi closed her locker, yawned and turned. Feet. She looked up. Everyone was staring. She hadn’t been trying this time. But here she was: three inches tall. If she hurried to the cafeteria, she would have time to treat herself to a giant piece of cake before she grew again.

Angeline Schellenberg authored the Manitoba Book Award-winning Tell Them It Was Mozart (Brick, 2016) and Fields of Light and Stone (UAP, 2020), shortlisted for the KOBZAR Book Award.
