Another contest, another issue packed full of the bizarre. This mega-issue features anthropomorphic arachnids, accursed winters, dreaming gods, fun-house mirrors, overworked reflections, crows flying through walls, woodland disappearances, superpower-bestowing hats, body-shaming ghosts, and mouse-gobbling mothers.
You people sure come up with some weird stuff.
Enough from us. Let’s get to the goods. Don’t forget to check out our results page to see who scored our coveted close-but-no-cigar shout-outs. And keep your eyes peeled for info about both our upcoming poetry contest and our next quarterly contest, Flash Felon, with its crime-oriented theme.
