STORIES IN THIS ISSUE:
A Particular Silence - Glenn Lewis Gillette

bashed in his wife's skull, and Easy cured her with a spell out of his current novel-in-progress.
Lost in Shadow - JJ Sergi
Lost love leads a man on a life long quest, that leaves him lost in shadow.
The Black Dragon - Morgan Bloodaxe
Poetry
The Last Black Eye of Antigo Vale - Christopher Schmitz

not seen having the physical strength to do so.

As the Mistress of the Solstice, Marya was responsible for selecting the sacrifice that was
needed to protect the people. What will her reaction be when she learns they have all been
deceived.

Trips to visit parents can be stressful in many ways - particularly when you're a barbarian in a
