The familiar unhappiness is often more comfortable for human beings than making a difficult extended change. This week we have one humorous poem about a couple aware of their own peculiarities, and a bit of flash fiction where the narrator is seemingly unaware of his own slightly sadistic pleasure in the discomfort of those around him. The works are
Thoughts At The Table by Foster Trecost and
Heartless by Mark McGuire-Schwartz.
