A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Looks like a painting. Thanks.
Ce n’est pas une phone
Clearly the phone is out of order: there is no string knotted to the bottom of the cup.
Assignment:
Write a short story in which the main character, who doesn’t even drink coffee, tries to place a call to Gwynedd, Wales, only to find out (too late!) that all long distance calls require an espresso cup.
JOB
It’s a stringless model. You punch out the bottom of the cup and use it like a megaphone.
They say that on the night of the full moon, you can still hear it ringing… ringing….
or …

TAGGED WITH: R. MUTT 2013
I tried to use that phone once during a personal crises. Saw the booth down the block and used the last ounce of strength to get there, hoping to get some help. Maybe I would have called my wife, my priest or therapist; possibly the police. Nothing there but an empty cup.
That was when things started going downhill.
