Cormac is a latch-key kid living in The Bronx. He's tough, witty, and independent. Any kid would be lucky to have him at their side in a fight. If he's not in school, he's usually in his natural environment - the streets, and he's usually in trouble. Today he's supposed to be coming back from the pharmacy with his Graddad's refills, but has a chance encounter with a beautiful girl, and a lot to learn about the bigger world.

First published in The Ocotillo Review Vol. 5. No 1. He is a recipient and runner-up of the Chester B. Hines Memorial Fiction Prize.

Em is just another girl in a strange world. In this world every lie you tell is a scar, bigger the lie deeper the scar. Ghosts wanting to kill you and ghosts wanting to help you. What path will you choose? Would you lie even if it cost your life? Would you risk the life of others? The choice is up to you.
