Welcome to the de facto Chicago Fiction issue of Normal Words, this time featuring a pair of short stories from a pair of Third Shore writers.
In “Hitting the Sled in Furniture City,” David Peak takes us to the heart of Michigan with a story of father and sons in the most uncertain of times; Devin McCrate’s “In Brownsville, Amidst Luxury” then heads south for a haunting reminiscence on the unforgettable and the unspeakable.
Submissions for issue four are now open, and we thank you as always for reading.
