May we recommend the "Bespoke Monster" tier? Just two lucky people will be able to design their very own crochet monster and have it arrive to haunt their abode, lurking or looming yarnishly, each in their own particular idiom.

Secure your monster today!

Today's story, "Queso for Baba" by Nicholas Batura, has the joy of connection in the face of apocalypse.

"Rain snaps on my umbrella, bounces, rolls down the sides, flicking past me onto the sidewalk. At least gravity is still constant."

Next up is the horror of academic job hunting: CoverLetter_Version5, by @cannfloyd.

"Four other versions of me crowd around the kitchen table, waiting for version five to get done with the bathroom. Or for breakfast. Or for me to say something. Or for anything, really. All they do is wait, wait, wait.

"Until they don’t."
