Issue 9

Issue 9 features farewells, apocalypses, the decay of laws of physics and things lurking in the water, waiting to drag you under. These endings are all balanced with new beginnings. Much like the death card in tarot signifies transition, these stories and poems speak of new, kinder, communities that emerge from the rubble, of gardens that spread after the end, of the metamorphosis of a life into another.

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.
