I Will Be in the Water by Carmen Brady We were always driving in my car. You never took the wheel. The billboards never scared me. They taught me nothing of the world. At night I read about the galaxies and traced constellations to connect...

"We were always driving in my car. You never took the wheel. The billboards never scared me."

This week on hex, Carmen Brady's "I Will Be in the Water," a haunting and beautifully written piece of eco-apocalyptic fiction, a relationship splitting at the tectonic plates. Don't miss this one! 👇🪸

War Paint by Sam Berman I go, “Please.” And you say, “No chance.” So, “Please. Please. Please,” I plead. “No. No. No.” Twilit. Almost all dark, outside, on our lawn is the stack of pallets your brother hasn’t com...

"I go, 'Please.'

And you say, 'No chance.'"

So stoked to feature Sam Berman on hex this week with an incredibly well crafted story, every line distilled into knife-sharp perfection. This one is so strange and compelling and just an absolute wonder at the sentence level. Don't miss it! 👇

The American brain is amazing

She still suggested it might be because of construction and not the ya know. Everything

Pro trump coworker being like, “I’ve had a lot of students saying they have issues crossing the border, like it’s taking them a lot longer. Do you know if that’s true?”

Yeah dude and I wonder fucking why??

😭 thank you baby

Do I dare disturb the universe, should I get a fuck ass bob

I love to eat raw dough

I have to live my life every single day

I feel like someone dissected, scraped me out, stuffed me with jelly beans, sewed me back up, and told me I still need to function in the world like a real baby full of blood and guts

Writing about the ethical thing to do is not the ethical thing to do, poets. Soon the hyacinth rotted and the scent sharpened and hurt, very soon. I longed to hold a conversation. I imagined a spiral staircase through the very body of art held together by all the heat in the world

Oh the stuff Trump is doing is illegal? It’s actually against the law? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Robert Mueller
