Winter 2025. Issue II. Temp Closed

Issue II.

We are back. Looking for the best unread, unseen, unaccepted work. We are taking fiction and non-fiction. 5,000 word limit.

Here's what we want: We want writing that surprises us. Fiction written by poets. Existential sci-fi spirals. Stories that can make us laugh and cry in the same breath. Scripture from some future wasteland.

Stylistically, we want beautiful, concise, and daring writing. Craft with texture, depth, and style. Work that's alive, unique, and unforgettable.
