This Valentine’s Day (which I hate), I thought I would share something fantastic, from a writer and editor who’s just kickass (which I enjoy). 

So, on this temperate Monday read a wonderful story, taken from Fifty-Two Stories (which also rocks my waffle): David Cotrone’s “The Continuous Yearning of Walter Rush.” Then, when you’re done with the story, check out David’s interview with Ryan Call in HTMLGiant. Lastly, go to Used Furniture Review, which David edits. It’s fucking brilliant.

from “The Continuous Yearning of Walter Rush”:

Still, Walter imagines this woman. He imagines the warm water lapping against her splotchy flesh. He imagines her hair wrapped up in a bun, her arms extended and her legs reclined straight out, her on her back, the sun beating upon her eyelids, so that from within her head she does not see the black of her closed eyes, but instead the color of rust. He imagines her feeling of weightlessness, of restoration, of salt.
