“Dangerous Fish” was published in Dirty Chai: Spring / Summer issue 3 on August 1, 2014.

Opening Paragraphs:

 Mary Burk didn’t have much on top so she had to work her booty. Fourteen years old and still no period. Her mom told her breasts wouldn’t really develop until that happened and in the meantime she should make do with what she had.

“When Aunt Flow is late,” her mother told her, “It means you’ll be taller, and thinner than your classmates, and then those boobs will come on like gangbusters and if they don’t there’s always plastic surgery.”

Mary wondered if any of her friends had mother daughter talks like the ones she had with Ellen. That’s what Mom wanted Mary to call her now.

“So we can be girlfriends, right?” Ellen said. “Now let me show you how to move that ass.”

According to Ellen there wasn’t a man alive who could resist staring at a fourteen year old booty. “Even the gay guys will turn their heads. Girls too, but for a totally different reason.”
