Our first piece is a love poem (of sorts) by Claire Denson titled “If You Have to Die, Let Me” published in Spork Press. Love? Obsession? You decide.
Our second piece, by Evan Williams, may be imagined in its entirety. At least, we hope so. Published in Hobart After Dark (HAD), it’s called “Ted.”
Our third and final piece, written by Ed Grabianowski, is called “A Little Bit at a Time.” Detailing one person and her many scars, it tells a story of an apocalyptic world.
