Fiction
This Is Why We Can't Have Nasty Things by Charlie Jane Anders: San Francisco used to have a million pockets and folds in her long flowery skirts, where the strange and barely loved could create their own reality. But lately, not so much. (Best American Short Stories 2020 Notable).
Andi Taylor vs. Artemis Victor by Rita Bullwinkel: The fact of the two girls' bodies was not lost on Artemis Victor or Andi Taylor or on any of the young women in the Daughters of America tournament. Their body was the only tool they had at their disposal.
Island of Beginnings by Lydia Conklin: Sometimes Posey forgot that she'd emerged on this side of her marriage middle-aged. That she'd grown a potbelly and her hair was stringy from years of dying it what she had thought until recently was a striking crimson. (Best American Short Stories 2020 Notable).
Ring Around the Equator, Pockets Full of Acres by Chia-Chia Lin: It mimicked her life at work, when she calculated the hours until lunch, or how much of the day was left, or how much of the week or year. But her new athletic life was a different kind of life. A second, better life?
Strangers by Nina Schuyler: Then I heard the coyotes howling-they were always moving, large packs at night, displaced from the never-ending construction. I imagined them sprinting on the dirt paths like veins on the hills, illuminated by the moon, sprinting to catch a rabbit, a mouse, sprinting for the sheer pleasure of sprinting.
And First-Time-in-Print Channel 4 by Michael Sears and short short stories by Ingrid Rojas Contreras and Andrew Roe
