| Random Thought: | My greatest fear is that when I die and go to Heaven, I will find out
that getting there really was half the fun. --Mike on October 5, 2006 |
It starts off with a haunting story by Christopher Woods of a grand dream turned into a bitter crusade, entitled His City. That is followed by The Passengers, by Adam Hinton, which takes us on a taxi ride where one thing is abandoned as something new is discovered. Next is Liliana Blum's Appointment with a Pig in the Library about a mystery fan who struggles to solve her own personal mystery. Les Williams follows, painting a vivid picture of the plains of the Old West in a tale called Under Nebraska Skies. Then, in My Dad Fudge, Joanna Galbraith explores the odd world of a family whose whole existence revolves around a candy shop. The issue wraps up with A Visitor, by Bunny Dees, which relates the tale of a desperately lonely man hoping to find one last touchstone to the days when he believed he mattered.
This issue holds two wonderful poems. The first is Homeless in London, which paints one of those living on the streets with a bit of tragic dignity. Following that is Larry Eugene Meredith's tribute to a fellow poet, titled Poet Emerging.
