Unfortunately, due to a lack of submissions, I won't be moving forward with publication of the first issue this month. There were several last minute withdrawals before the recent deadline leaving me with not enough to fill the journal. Thank you to everyone who wished to participate. 🩵

As I'm reading submissions today, I've noticed that many are very literal to death/dying. These are great, and I hope you'll continue to send them. That said, I'd also like to present you with a challenge to think outside the box. I'll post some prompting questions as a thread.
