    Sub-Prime: a short story of our times. Far more than a love story - this is a story about love. A Short Story.
    Two powerless beings are swept together in a transient struggle for survival. Could the human spirit transcend the brutality and indifference of their brief experience before they are once again swept helplessly apart?


    One of 5 novellas and short stories from Emma Calin's 'Love in a Hopeless Place Collection'

    Reviews:

    'Sub-Prime is not a fun tale, but it's truth, and truth, even well stated, is stark, in-your-face, and eye opening'

    'Although the story is short, it is well-written, quite intense and very realistic'

    'Powerful condensed full-flavoured shot of reality'

      Three Poems

      Mar 1, 2019

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.
