He went to the naked place to get a woman off of him. The hot springs would boil and sterilize him.
He drove two hours, too fast around the ascending curves in the two- lane road. He couldn't see what was coming but guessed, correctly. Impatience made him reckless.
In the communal dressing room, he could not undo his belt. His skin insisted that it stay covered. He tried not to hear. It had been costly to get there.

Submissions: are no longer being accepted. TS has closed down. But feel free to peruse our archived stories and interviews.
Tuesday Shorts placed writers we know alongside those we don't to communicate that quality writers are everywhere, and make one community. Writing—no matter how frustrating an endeavor it can sometimes become—should always be a challenging game we can all play.
Jacquelyn Mitchard, whose Deep End of the Ocean was the first Oprah's Book Club selection, not only recommended making Tuesday Shorts a MySpace blog, but also contributed the first piece. More excellent work followed by writers known and unknown, and pieces continue to draw readers who want a good story but only have a minute to read it.
