The Soul Stories of Nonh
by Gemma Church
“We are smoldering now, burning, stretching our new, opaque arms, long and tuberculate, covered in swirling patterns of grey soot and white smoke. We are leaking outside the hangar, into the cool evening air.
Even if we wanted to stop our escape, we could not.”

Flash Feature: The Red Planet
By Rett Weissenfels
This story is part of Issue 003.

His father’s words from hours past still reverberated in his ears, cutting through the thunder in his veins. “Fly now, child. Rest not ’til the Atlas is secure.” And fly he did.
