Theme: Charming Relationships
“The theme of this, our twentieth issue is charming relationships. We have a student with two girls and a voice; a woman intimately involved with steel; a killer, a tree, and himself; a couple that cuts together; an ancient pair together again for the first time; a salesman changed by a chance encounter; a man with his causes(s) of death; and a shrink with a boy who creates their new reality.”
