| Serials |
Michael J A Tyzuk concludes “Rude Awakening” as Tamara Tomson and her partner, Jeffrey, solve the crime... and find two lives in even greater shambles than Tamara’s own.
Ásgrímur Hartmannsson has us riding shotgun with one of his favorite characters: a deliveryman with speedy wheels. The deliveryman begins to wonder just what this cat food is that he’s delivering, and he’ll discover that curiosity might not only kill a cat but himself, to boot, in “Catnips.” |
| Short Story |
Norman A. Rubin portrays one of life’s prettier moments: a chance meeting with a very attractive-looking person. Only, the opportunity is a flower that will soon fade unless the hero musters the initiative to “Seize the Moment.” |
| Poetry | New contributor Michael Murry brings us a poem that evokes the perils of manned space flight. But “Ad astra ex machina” is also a polemic in verse that revives one of the main themes and favorite styles of the Enlightenment philosophers. |
| Discussion | Don Webb explores the background and implications of some well-known religious and philosophical views in “Santa Claus Died in Libson.” |
