“Beside the Point”
10-Second Fiction
An hour already. Rose waited for Gilberto to pick her up, which she knew wouldn’t happen. Maybe ICE had got him. Finally. Or, likelier, he just forgot. He was an idiot in two languages.

Ten-Second Fiction
“Throw Down (Swing Your Hips Now)“
Sauntering, though it was in her lexicon, is not the word Magdalena would have employed to describe her locomotion…. she believed she glissandoed….

Ten-Second Fiction “Roadside” Dim as they were, the Plymouth’s headlights carved a path in the salty shore night air, making the gravel sparkle like the cheap dime store rhinestones on her earrings. Francine had insisted that Tommy pull over to the roadside just behind Frankie’s hotdog wagon, hissing that she couldn’t wait and that this was as good a place as any. Then, before he knew it, her warm moist Tom Collins infused breath was on his neck, in his ear and her hand on his belt buckle. As unexpected as this was to him, what came next was more so. At the same time as she was swiftly pulling his belt from out of the loops, out of the darkness from the woods sprang Francine’s brothers, Richie and Albert, and a third guy Tommy didn’t recognize who seemed to be twice the size of the other two. Before Tommy could get the words “what the hell…” completely out of his mouth, the doors on either side of the car were open and the three assailants were on him, the brothers on the driver side and the giant on passenger. As off guard as this caught him, nothing was quite as shocking as the speed with which Francine had managed to wrap Tommy’s own leatherette belt around his neck or the force with which she cinched it tight.

He was neither cunning nor persuasive nor charismatic. But his lying was hypnotic. The more outrageous his lies, the more readily the people submitted to the spreading fever.
