  Henrik Ibsen's 1894 play Little Eyolf tells the story of the Allmers family: the father, Alfred, his wife Rita, their crippled nine-year-old son Eyolf, and Alfred's sister Asta.  As the play begins, Alfred has just gotten back from a trip to the mountains, and resolves to spend more time with his son, rather than on intellectual pursuits.  Asta is romantically pursued by Borgheim, an engineer, while the cracks in Alfred and Rita's marriage gradually reveal themselves.  The family receives a visit from the Rat-Wife, and are never the same again. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)Cast:

  Randall cannot remember a day in the last ten years that he has not spent beside his canine friend, Eduardo the Magnificento, or Ed. Ever since Rand found the pup nestled against a hot-water pipe, the two have been inseparable, spending countless hours together wandering through the woods on adventures, some make-believe and some real. But now, Ed's gone missing, and Rand takes it upon himself to seek out his four-legged friend. Unfortunately, the hunter loses his friend's tracks amongst those of a much more sinister type, ogres. 
  Rand assumes the worst, and gets himself into a very difficult situation involving ogres, clubs and, “tush paper”? Will Rand rescue or even find his friend? Or will he be the main entree for an ogre village that's already whetted its appetite with canine? The resulting story is one of friendship and resolve, irony and heroism, and mud. It might not make you laugh, but you'll smirk a few times, as the lives of Eduardo the Magnificento, Randall and a group of unsuspecting ogres become intertwined. 
  And there's a twist at the end you'll never see coming! Or you might. Just act like you didn't, it'll be a lot more fun. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  A Scent of Heaven

  A Scent of Heaven is food for the soul lost in the dark night of the soul. This body of poems heals the wounds of the hopeless on every level-- many have found freedom in this text. Written as an ekphrastic text, the cover met Igwe with the telling of her story, and the stories of her people. These words are a radically honest approach to the altar of the soul, and the words invite you to join in this recounting of the body, mind and Spirit. Written by a living ancestor for other living ancestors--those who are wading the deep and dark at the bottom of the sea, here they found me a bit of me. This work is heavily influenced by Igwe's spiritual journey and her life existing between cultures: a quintessential, Nigerian brand of Christianity and her forays into the world of Odinani and ancestral veneration.
