I haven't heard a certain billionaire talking about Mars lately. But maybe he's just been too busy breaking things. Anyway, you should check out "Mars Needs (More) Women" by Lori Fontanes. But don't tell you-know-who. No need to give him any ideas! roifaineantpress.com/post/mars-need…

I love the sound of poetry in the morning! Especially on a Friday. If you do too, you should go read "Lioness" by Cameron Rife and then read her other poem. Both are live now in issue 83! roifaineantpress.com/post/lioness-t…

Please don't hate me, but I'm not a cat person. Could be because I'm allergic. Could be because of cats like the one in this story. They're kind of terrifying. Don't believe me? Read "Cat Carrier" by Joe Struvallo and see for yourself! roifaineantpress.com/post/cat-carri…

I love it when a poem feels like a stream of consciousness, bubbling along from one brilliant image to the next. "Deepness" by Amanda Niamh Dawson (Connolly) feels like that and it's simply glorious.

Editors: check this out. While indie lit does not exist entirely outside of grossly misogynistic edgelord bullshit, this is striking in both scope/required effort and stupidity in proving…absolutely nothing.

If you need a little escapism for any reason whatsoever, check out “Metadata” by Edith-Nicole Cameron in our upcoming 84th issue. It grapples with how our past, or our faulty obsession with the past, can restrict our capacity to accept & appreciate the present. Look for it 4/27!

As a dog owner, I read this story with maybe a bit more invested in the outcome than say, a cat-lover. But it's a fascinating and mysterious story either way. This is "The Poor Dogs of Budapest" by Daniel Frears and you can find it in the 84th issue on Sunday, 4/27!

In honor of Earth Day, today's first bite is a tease from "The Bombmakers" by Michael Latella. What says Earth Day more than a novelette about terraforming? Look for it on Sunday! Issue 84! 4/27! Sorry for getting shouty!! (not really. i'm never sorry for getting shouty)

As we continue into an age of lawlessness of our government here in the good old U S of A, let's celebrate with a tale of adolescent lawlessness! "Lifted" by Brian Greene is the story of juvenile delinquent who keeps getting caught stealing. Look for it on Sunday!

When you start to lose your faith in humanity, a story like this might just be a little bit of a balm for your soul. This is "Owl" by Esmé Kaplan-Kinsey Esmé KK. And it will be live in our 84th issue on 4/27. I highly suggest you read it. Seriously.

I'm still over here processing S02E02 of "The Last of Us" so I was not excited to see a post-apocalyptic story going into issue 84. But I gotta tell you, "At the End of the World, You Love Whenever You Can" by JP Relph JP Relph - Novella "Watcher" out now gives me hope for the apocalypse after all! Sunday!

Halfway through the week & we haven't had even a hint of a poetry party! I think we need to rectify that, tout suite! This is a bit of "What No One Tells You About Living on Your Own After a Breakup", one of a 3-pack from Chelsea Dodds Chelsea Dodds Read all of them on Sunday!

Now that we've started the poetry party, I don't want it to end! Let's keep it going with "Wearing Red Lipstick is Romantic" by Haley DiRenzo. This little beauty will be featured in its entirety as part of issue 84, along with 3 others from the same poet. Read them all on Sunday!

We here at RF live in a country where we are supposed to have freedom of speech and religion. But how free are we? Check out "The Boy From the 'Good' Family" by Emily Strempler and see how even within religions, there are battles for and against those freedoms. Sunday!

This bite is from a powerful story that seems important to tell given everything that is going on in the US right now. Please read "When the Wren Calls" by Vanessa Butler. It's live on Sunday. Don't miss this one.

Closing out the day with tiny taste of literary fiction. "Handle With Care" by Eleanor Luke is one of those pieces that does a whole lot with very few words. So much is conveyed by what isn't said. Look for this beauty in our 84th edition out Sunday.
