Short Story – Conversations over drinks on the Psychology of Isolation (By David Portyanskiy)

March 30, 2022 Antarctica Journal

Conversations over drinks on the Psychology of Isolation By David Portyanskiy   I was sitting alone underneath the dark lights drinking a cocktail I couldn’t remember the name of. The days go by leaving me more and more time to drink and sit in taverns. But now I was not alone, a stranger approached me when I remained in my […]

Short Story – The Haunting of Piedras Blancas (By DC Diamondopolous)

January 12, 2019 Antarctica Journal

The gulls perch in conference on the white rock. Beyond is the blue empty sky, the vast sea without sails, no horizon. Blue. Come, Jemjasee. Am I to roam this rugged coastline for eternity, this journey without distance? I feel doomed, my struggle invisible. You must come, Jemjasee. Save me from my weariness.

Short Story – Finding a Refugee a Home (By Donal Mahoney)

January 3, 2019 Antarctica Journal
Fuzzy (Carol Bales)

Finding a Refugee a Home   Fuzzy wasn’t my cat although I fed him every morning at four o’clock for 10 years.   He was my wife’s cat, loved to sit on her lap, be petted, jump down and rub his head against her feet.   He was a Maine Coon cat who arrived at our door as a refugee without papers or a green card. Probably was a pet once; someone […]

Short Story (By Rachel Tucker)

December 9, 2018 Antarctica Journal
park bench

I sat on the park bench watching my niece as she guarded her 4 year old son who clambered like a monkey over the jungle gym. Happy shouts and laughter filled the air and I found myself transported back to the time when I first met my niece. Despite the fact that this beautiful young woman was a niece by […]

Short Fiction – The Camp (By Melissa R. Mendelson)

November 12, 2018 Antarctica Journal

The Camp By, Melissa R. Mendelson   White snow clung to metal, begging for escape.  Its watery fingers traced the barb wire.  Cold tears fell, circling and plummeting to the ground, eaten by oblivion.  A glimpse of sunlight tried to catch it but failed, and the fence shook with sadness.  More snow clung and fell to the metal barrier that […]

Short Story – Older Days (By Nathan Young)

October 28, 2018 Antarctica Journal

Older Days I do not like this, and I miss the older days. Back then was good. I remember so much from back then. I had gone to London (I forget now why but I do remember the important things still). I had gone to London, and I remember the mansion. There were silver and white lights draped across the […]

Short Fiction – The Dragon and the Wolf (By Lynn Long)

October 27, 2018 Antarctica Journal

Once, not so long ago, there was a very sad dragon who spent all her lonely days deep in slumber within her cave. She ventured outside only to wish upon the sparkling white lights that filled an ebony sky. There, beneath the pale lights, lost in memories, the dragon would dream of a world in which she soared high into […]

Chilling Details

A previously unknown form of bacteria that eats iron is feasting on the wreck of the Titanic, and will consume the disintegrating remains in 20 years at most, a study by Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has found. “Eventually there will be nothing left but a rust stain on the bottom of the Atlantic,”
