Theme: Lost
“Welcome to our lost issue. Well, not exactly lost, since you seem to have found it. Oh, you know what I mean. We have a woman who has lost her lover to the razor, a man losing his lover to his demons, a boy feeling lonely as his sister becomes a mermaid, a girl with no face (although she never loses face), a man looking for his lost identity, and a woman who loses children to the sea.”
