The fourth issue of Heartlines Spec provides glimpses into how characters relate within a few moments in time. These stories, poems, and essays focus on long-term relationships—be they between friends, lovers, family or someone else entirely—and examine how connections can change or grow against a much longer timeline.
Each week, we will release two free-to-read pieces on our website. Paid subscribers have complete access. All levels of subscribers can read select pieces ahead of public release.
