The premise for Issue #5 was...
FOUND
One or more characters *unexpectedly* find one or
more physical objects somewhere. Something about the object(s) raises questions that the characters want answered.
We received 136 contest enteries and chose four stories for prizes, plus a fifth to be published as a guest writer. Here’s the table of contents for Issue #4:
