Bedrock (a story about progress)
by Sienna Axe I thought a lot about what to post for the Spring Cleaning issue—I'm right in the middle of designing the lights for Disaster! right now (free tickets if you're in Walla Walla!), so I knew I wouldn't have time to write anything new, but I have a soft spot for this little ex ercise in voice I wrote for my Sci-Fi & Society final last year (in collaboration with a piece of music by Sofia Solares). So thanks for reading! And thanks for reading/supporting Birdbath all year. It's been awesome :) [Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction, but almost all of the people mentioned are real. None of them actually said any of this, and I am in no way claiming they did. Cheers!]
"Tap Tap"
by Jaime Fields Author’s note: In eighth grade, my literature teacher had us write for 7 minutes on a different prompt every day. On Fridays, we could write about whatever we wanted, and I wrote this short horror story. It has been almost a decade since I wrote it, and to be honest, it’s still one of the best stories I’ve ever finished (read: one of the only stories I’ve ever finished.)
