So fun to say.
\nIt thumps like a shoe dropped into the gears. It smolders like a slow fuse lit under the floorboards.<\/h4>\n

For Journal Sixteen, we are looking for sabotage. Sweet or bitter. Large or small. It might be a quiet refusal, a deliberate misstep, a coded message, or a love letter never sent. It might be the body rebelling against itself, a system collapsing from within, a character who undermines their own desires. It might be the artist\u2019s hand trembling on purpose, the poem that undoes its own logic, the narrative that eats its tail.<\/p>\n

As always, we invite you to interpret this theme liberally\u2014bend it, twist it, betray it. Sabotage it, if you must.<\/p>\n

Send us your beautiful wreckage, your quiet detonations, your elaborate ruses, and your betrayals of self. We\u2019ll be listening for the sound of gears grinding, the machinery silenced.<\/p>\n

Do your worst. It’s Sabotage!<\/p>\n
