The stories in FPQ 8 explores the complex, usually subtle, and often dark paths roads people take to – and away – from relationships. In Wolves by Naomi K. Lewis, a young boy craves the attention of a lie, and becomes an adult trapped in a cycle of building and destroying himself. In Jeff Dupuis’ Everything Must Go, a man takes his while life apart one Craigslist sale at a time to find out where his last relationship went wrong. In Scuzzy Love by Curtis Snider, a woman inexplicably finds herself waking up in her ex-boyfriend’s apartment, and takes the opportunity to discover what traces of her remain. In Submission by Suad Ali, a woman in an unhappy relationship must weigh her boyfriend’s concept of right and wrong with the ideas impressed upon her from a young age, in order to chart course for herself.
