GOSHAWK by Michael Lededza Ben Simon, desperate to finish a research paper on raptors, heads off into the woods in an attempt to videotape the Northern Goshawk, a very aggressive bird of prey.

He peaks out of his tent to the sight of a young woman getting brutally murdered by a disturbed maniac. When the killer leaves, Ben hears the mysterious caws of unseen birds, and it is as plain as day what they are saying to him -- that he cannot let the murderer get away ... no matter the cost.

STILL LIFE by Jon Knautz A pill-popping, over-caffeinated driver accidentally hits something. Panic-stricken, he seeks help in a strange and desolate town that offers very little in human kindness. 
PURPLE LIPSTICK by Heather Haley Purple is the colour of a fresh bruise. "Purple Lipstick" confronts the insidious nature of domestic violence through compelling juxtapositions. A disembodied female voice employs vivid language, absurdist against a backdrop of banality, images of *normal* family life. Numb in her isolation and still in her nurse's uniform, a wife and mother prepares dinner. The inherent terror of her homelife is invoked with excruciating tension. Its brutality can only be alluded to. 
MENIERE'S DISEASE by Jason Williams Meniere’s Disease: spin, fall, crawl, throw up, no rinsing, and then repeat. The project Meniere's Disease is a reflection of the disease that affects the inner ear. There is no cure that can help everyone affected by the disease. One potential fix is surgery. How many people want a doctor poking sharp objects in their head?

Her boyfriend, oblivious to her increasing hypochondria, only seems interested in her physically. Ultimately, she must learn to confront her fears and take care of herself.
