“A Funny Kind of Fairy Tale” by Damien Donnelly (short story) - A strange and almost dreamlike story that flits along something like a stream of consciousness but speaks of a grim history and a desire to rise, to soar, to spark joy.“Ladder to the Moon” by Makaila Aarin (poem) - A poem about escape from the pressures and constraints of society as filtered through a kind of throw-back, Victorian aesthetic showcasing a person yearning to embrace their truth, and find freedom outside Earth’s restrictive gravity.Follows a lot of interesting takes on the story I’ve seen recently. “My First and Last Proclamation as the Child Freed and Crowned Queen of Omelas” by Palimrya (poem) - A fantastic complication of the idea of sacrifices along the lines of the one imagined for Omelas, told from their voice, sharp and promising an end to the illusions of ignorance.“The Serpent Wives” by Shon Mapp” (poem) - A wonderful piece about desire and hiding, passing, keeping a part of yourself locked away unseen, and how that becomes a kind of snake eating its own tail, or two serpents eating each other.“The Wind Through the Fields” by Aidan Redwing (poem) - A poem about what gets buried, and how time and death are often great equalizing forces, taking everything but bones and dirt.“Rabbit’s Foot” by Colleen Anderson (poem) - A somewhat grim piece that looks at the practice of making “lucky rabbit’s feet” and how that works out for everyone, especially the rabbit, and how that might twist luck into something more sinister.“Dragon’s Hoard” by Dawn Vogel (poem) - A quite and interesting story as told by a rather unorthodox dragon, one whose hoard is not of gold and gems.
