From the Editor:

Well, it took us long enough, but the February issue is finally here! And what a collection it is! Off the top of my head, I’d call it a magnificent mutant of the weird and the wonderful, where people and places awe and amaze…but what do I know? Anyway, the inadvertent theme this time is…well…errr…how about this?—“Not quite here, not quite now.” See if you agree, as the sheer depth of these tales may offer infinite possibilities.

First we present R.A. Conine’s “Time and Again,” a surreal account of accidental time travelers destined to keep crossing paths. Next we have Matthew Lattanzi’s “Bone Planes,” a day in the life of two brothers living in a bizarre (and fascinatingly ominous) dystopian future. Then comes Scott D. Wilson’s “Mistake,” the story of a mysterious wanderer who may or may not be all that he seems. Next up is Chris Aaron’s “Delicate Egg,” a charming tale of an otherworldly youth learning some valuable life lessons. And finally, we offer Shawn Radcliffe’s “Waiting for the Rain to Fall,” which tells of a man whose father’s stories may offer more truth than he ever realized.

Overall, each of these writers have really captured a theme we love to promote—strange yet familiar. Which reminds us a lot of a tea we’ve been digging lately—oolong. It’s somewhere between the familiar tastes of green and black, subtly reminding the taste buds of each, but truly establishing its own distinct flavor. That said, oolong is this issue’s “Tea for the Read” (yes, it’s new). Like these stories, it’s delicious, memorable and you can’t put it down. So grab a cup, get cozy, and sink your every available sense into our third issue.
