Here are the opening lines from some of the stories chosen for the 2019 edition \u2013 Migration:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDarkness has substance. It is tangible; different shades within the black, sounds, a taste. It is accompanied by self-awareness of time and thoughts, even when other senses fail.\u201d \u2014Hope for Charity, by Robyn Walker<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sky has been screaming for five straight days when the shrimps come to take us away. They\u2019ve been boxing up the others and hauling them off. Now they\u2019re here for us, soaking wet, dragging cords and crates behind them.\u201d \u2014Shrimpanzee, Sionnain Bailey<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllister always had faultless hair. He\u2019d comb and gel it to perfection while gazing in the mirror. One day a pair of eyes stared back.\u201d \u2014Zulu Finds a Home, by Kevin Klehr<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn her sister\u2019s wedding day Ari noticed that one of her ears had migrated to her hand. It was right after her high school crush, Emily, arrived with Cousin Matt.\u201d \u2014Playing It By Ear, Aidee Ladnier<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wound was fatal. Their vessel wouldn't live much longer. This is what came from leaving loose ends. Frantically they sought out a new vessel to migrate to. \u201c \u2014The Essence, by L.M. Brown<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat night, we were sitting in the bed of her daddy\u2019s old pickup truck and the radio was playing the best song. We had a pack of cigarettes between us and her hand was almost touching mine. The wheat field was silver in the moonlight. When they came, we weren\u2019t surprised, just disappointed that our time was up already.\u201d \u2014Our Song, by Lauren Ring<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWillow said she was my wife, but I knew it wasn\u2019t her, not the right her, anyway. Sure she looked like her with olive skin and bright pink hair. She even smelled of mango flowers, just like I remembered, but there was something about her smile that was slightly off, something about when she said she loved me that didn\u2019t sit well in my old heart.\u201d \u2014 They Said It Would Be Her, by Elizabeth Andre<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgnes is eight when she first sees the river. Cutting its way through town, the only thing she knows not coated in coal dust. She sticks her toes in, comes home with wet socks and a secret. See, the river hadn\u2019t been there yesterday.\u201d \u2014Stream of Consciousness, by Ziggy Schutz<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTerry twirled in her green synthsilk dress, looked at her reflection, liked what she saw. She felt good in her own skin, for maybe the first time.\u201d \u2014Altball, by RE Andeen<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing was in the corner. It had come through the window and had slid down the wall. Scratch went the sound. The noise of a hundred nails clawing at the wood. Nails of white bone. Alex pulled the sheets up quickly, covering every inch of skin and hair in a warm darkness.\u201d \u2014Whose Nightmare, by Jamie Bonomi<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Author Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A hundred and twenty authors are included in Migration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Butterflies, by A O'Donovan<\/li>\n<li>The Return, by A.M.
