Aug 10, 2026 | | 0 |

PREE 15 is a bumper issue with twice, if not thrice, as many submissions as we usually recieve. This is probably due to the offer of monetary prizes for the three most outstanding entries. This issue was also open to writers from the global South and several authors from other countries submitted work. We will note those shortlisted as we upload their work and announce the winners on August 31st! Enjoy PREE 15 themed Precarity, Fragility, Vulnerability. We are excited by the quality of the submissions we received. As usual we will be adding to the issue each week until the full issue is up. Enjoy and let us have your feedback!

Today I write from the diaspora, from a distance that is both comfortable and painful. I watch the island from afar. I watch what hope looks like now, worn thin by decades of hardship. I watch what speaking up still costs there.

Bit by bit, the sea decide that waving to Ismaida from the rocky front yard not enough. It want to live inside the small house with Ismaida, curling it fists into her small saucepan. Spreading it palms across the cheap painting of Jesus on the wall. Taking off it shoes and stretching it new toes along her bare floor.

Good mornin, how are you? In our waters, sharks speak. In this town, women learn early the delicate dance with beasts. When to move, when to freeze/when to respond without speech/with a smile fine enough to make fillet out of him.
