A few of my favorite entries:
Paradises by rafael nicolás:
“Will I love you too little or too much?”
“Any love at all,” Gabriel sighs, “is enough for me. I’ll meet you where you are.”
Halfway to Heaven by Freydís Moon
Honestly, I can’t describe this short poem other than to say just read it. So powerful and moving.
Pieces by Emily Hoffman
Kieron works at a tissue bank and one night he receives a visitor named Wyatt who asks him to cut off his wings. An introspection on how Kieron has previously given up on believing in God and now having proof of angels and having one ask to be “cut up” by him will surely secure his place in hell if his job hadn’t already.
And the Mountains Melt Like Wax by Tyler Battaglia
A firefighter named Abel climbs a mountain with his dog Cain and finds an angel. Sounds like the start of a bad joke right? But it’s actually the start of an amazing short story. Abel is having panic attacks after a bad apartment fire he worked. While on a hike, he comes across a crater and finds a “terrifying and perfect” angel inside. My favorite part was Abel feeling how the angel was full of love and loved Abel just for being there at that moment.
Resta Con Me by Ian Haramaki
I loved Elia and how much he loved books and learning. Seeing how he liked Nicola but was immediately drawn to Dani. The mystery of the demon possessing people in town, how Nicola and Dani react to each other, the alleyway makeout, the final confrontation (and following sex scene)…all amazing.
“Of course the Lord would bless his angels handsomely.”
