REVELATION

One or more characters discover that something believed to be true is actually false.



We received 154 contest enteries and chose six stories for prizes. In addition, we have two stories from special non-contestants as guest writer contributions, and we’ve revamped how we show our cartoons.

Best of all, we’re happy to say that a previously unpublished writer placed (third) in our contest. Here’s the table of contents for Issue #6:
