Crosshairs “to live in the crosshairs is to occasionally yield to the dominance of the sniper’s lens. in this realm, two types of submission are recognizable. the first is to dodge, to acknowledge the sniper’s omnipotence, to shield oneself from death and to persist within the boundaries of the scope’s vision. the second is to stand defiantly, touched with a dash of madness, unconcerned with the meticulous contemplation of one’s past or future. it is to be utterly devoted to the present, a moment of absolute submission to the now.” Abdaljawad Omar (rusted radishes) best of the net 2025: nonfiction selection @bestofthenetanthology
