Vol. 1 No. 8 (August 2023)

In this issue, a human and a hound snuggle in a cabin, and a blue guitar with faded fox stickers on it is purchased.

Featuring the stories: Two Knights, Blue Guitar, and The Scraps, as well as a few poems.

Two Knights: What is that man doing? one had asked in pre-dawn, and another had asked in the morning’s bright hours.

Blue Guitar: Mrs Michaels stepped into the pawn shop off the highway, and was greeted by a rush of air conditioning and the chime of a digital bell sounding over the door. Looking around the brightly-lit space, there were rows of DVDs, a bunch of power tools in the back, a wall of various VCRs and other TV accoutrements, and, hanging on the wall behind the glass counter full of jewelry, there was what she had come here for: a selection of electric guitars. As Mrs Michaels began making her way there, a clerk poked his head up from one of the DVD aisles. “Help you find anything?”

The Scraps: We should have done more.

Poems: Slippers and Observations; Untitled Anything And This; Blackout Or Just Slipped My Mind.
