Actionable Intelligence by John Lawson
We're pleased to present this terse story of torture, written especially for our premiere issue by the very busy John Lawson who has his fingers in many, many pies.

Mother's Milk by Clinton Green
Stunning picture of a man dealing with the devastating loss of a loved one. Beautifully written and conceived by this long-time member of the

Darkhalf community.

Hitting Bottom in Mid Air by Perry McGee
Two brothers run the gauntlet with devastating results. A biting tale of international horror from this Ohio-based author of many dark fiction stories.

Lobster Boy by Trevor Barton
Genetic freaks in a poetry-prose thing that's a little bit this, a little bit that. You read it. You define it. Then you let us know.

Liquid Brain by Jeffrey S. Callico
Unpredictable is the word for this lightning fast story of a woman who's not quite all there, and won't be there for long. What's her deal? Only the author knows for sure.

Stitch by Jennifer Barnes
Our featured poetry contribution. Short and tight with vivid imagery. From the webmaster of

The Dream People.

1III by Jürgen Rötzsch
Abstract art piece by a talented German artist. A member of the flickr community.
