Theme: Opportunity
“This issue is a veritable land of opportunity. We have a resistance movement rallying behind a singer with an unusual talent, a young woman moving from taxidermy to the opportunity of a lifetime, a stowaway to gold mountain, a couple finally getting the chance to marry long denied them both in life and in death. Plus a purple-eyed cat and cake. Everything is better with cake. Our poets speak of dead air and dead fingers, silver bullets and unexploded ordnance, gingerbread houses and red-capped wayfarers.”
