Seven Story PublishingTa-Da! (Daniel Bird)
Mr Henley, a good magician, like a good man, can control the whole mood of a party. A corporate gig where the boss needs to be ridiculed gently to show he’s one of the team too. A child who believes for a moment that a rabbit has come from a hat. A mad group of flirty hen-do ladies screeching at a penis-shaped wand emerging from one of their handbags. My dad did them all. It doesn’t matter if people know how you did it.https://sevenstorypublishing.com/2026/05/06/ta-da-daniel-bird/

What Is The Culling? (Bob Gielow)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia See also: Livestock culling The Culling is the bi-monthly occurrence whereby between 1,000 and 6,000 human beings are rendered mute and unmoving for several minutes, have their bodies float out into an open space, and then move straight up into the atmosphere until they disappear from the sight of others.https://sevenstorypublishing.com/2026/04/21/what-is-the-culling-bob-gielow-2/
The Town Among The Trees (Greg Sorin)
They made eye contact, then she winked at him as she slipped her thin dress down from her shoulder. He realized that all of the women were undressing. Soon they seemed to race by, nude and laughing with abandon. The men watched, captivated. Some clapped. Others simply ogled. Matt wondered if this were some forest ritual that would turn into an orgy. He couldn’t remember where, but he was sure he’d read stories like that taking place somewhere.https://sevenstorypublishing.com/2026/04/18/the-town-among-the-tress-greg-sorin/

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Our Echoes Drifting Through the Marsh by Marie Croke
Outside the preburial cottage, the pier creaked. I saw no shadow under the doorway, yet I froze, afraid Adamet was listening. I imagined, yet again, an anger filtering over his calm countenance. Wondered whether my admission of taking Danai into the Whispermarsh had been a final wedge between us. "Did your father truly leave?" I asked softly. A part of me hoped if he had, it was because he wanted to be kept in the dark about any admissions I made. A larger part of me believed he was done with me, exhausted by the choices I'd made.
