47 and Fifth. Top Story - June 2024. Content Warning.
Sun-spun choppers bungee over Fifth Avenue. Vultures gathering for a primetime carcass. The rungs are hot as I climb the news van. I plant my feet on its roof and shoulder my Sony PXW. I find focus amidst the clouds of smoke and flares.

Metagoth. Top Story - March 2024.
Rosa pinioned her hands against the cubicle as her bowels jetted a red-brown soup into the porcelain. Her stage fright always started in the gut, though Rosa would never have admitted that's what it was. And it never got easier. The tension of stepping out in front of a crowd of unimpressed, unenthusiastic punters caused her gastric contortions she was unable to contain. Fortunately, the smell of some agoraphobic chemist's notion of a pine forest covered up her own colonic aromas.

Why doesn't Vocal flag stories written by AI?
UPDATE: Vocal policy requires that AI content be labeled as such, but many authors are not doing this. https://vocal.media/resources/an-update-from-vocal-on-ai-generated-content In my opinion, Vocal should enforce this policy, either by adding an 'AI-generated' flag as part of the moderation process, or by unpublishing works and authors who do not comply.

Drowning Without Water
The app goads her. Profile after profile of average men. With each one Erin dismisses, another one appears. It’s hard to believe there are so many single men nearby. And even more incredible that they are all on Fyndr.

The Eye of the Beholder
‘But mum, noses don’t look like that,’ Shelley tells me, a little too loud for the hushed gallery. ‘That’s what made Picasso special,’ I reply. ‘He saw things differently from everyone else.’

Dear Rupert
Dear Rupert, . I wish there were another way to express the words I have to say. So please accept my deep regrets, that I must use rhyming couplets.
