About

What We're Looking For: Explorations of the ultimate mysteries of mind and matter. Glimpses of the odd, the absurd, and the shadows which dwell on the other side of the veil. We're particularly interested in explorations of meaning. Lighthearted tales which ask deep questions (and give imaginative answers) will be well received here. Religious, existential, and absurdist themes are welcome. Please note, however, there is a big difference between existentialism and nihilism. We find nihilism pointless, a cop-out, and an excuse for being intellectually lazy. Thus explains our hatred of most horror stories.
