If We Were Electric: StoriesIf We Were Electric's twelve stories celebrate New Orleans in all of its beautiful peculiarities: macabre and magical, muddy and exquisite, sensual and spiritual. The stunning debut collection finds its characters in moments of desire and despair, often stuck on the verge of a great metamorphosis, but burdened by some unreasonable love. These are stories about missed opportunities, about people on the outside who don't fit in, about the consequences

If We Were Electric's twelve stories celebrate New Orleans in all of its beautiful peculiarities: macabre and magical, muddy and exquisite, sensual and spiritual. The stunning debut collection finds its characters in moments of desire and despair, often stuck on the verge of a great metamorphosis, but burdened by some unreasonable love. These are stories about missed opportunities, about people on the outside who don't fit in, about the consequences of not mustering enough courage to overcome the binds.

In "Feux Follet," an old man's grief attracts supernatural lights in the dark Louisiana swamps. An exploding transformer's raw, unnerving energy in the title story matches the strange, ferocious temper of an unlucky hustler. "Blackout" sets the profound numbness of a young man physically abused by his mentally unstable partner beside the meaningful beauty of an unexpected moment of joy with someone else. The teenage narrator in "Before Las Blancas" is so overwhelmed by his sexuality that he abandons everything and everyone he's known to live in a happy illusion . . . in Mexico. And "Where It Takes Us" is a poignant, understated snapshot of a gay man who accompanies his straight, HIV-positive brother to the race track to bond again.

Simple and Effective for Fresher Breath!
I decided to try these stainless steel tongue scrapers, and I'm glad I did. You get a pack of two, which is convenient. They feel really sturdy, being made of surgical steel, and they are easy to clean. I've noticed a difference in how fresh my mouth feels since I started using them. It's a simple addition to my oral hygiene routine, but it seems to make a real impact on breath freshness. If you're looking for a durable and effective tongue cleaner, this two-pack is a good option.

Moisturizing spray that works
Size: 0.75 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I have a very dry mouth due to medical conditions. I use this mouth spray at night because it was so hard to sleep through the whole night with such a dry mouth. Using the spray before bed I’m able to sleep through the entire night!
