Here's my contributor's copy of Saros, Issue 3! Isn't it vibrant? I have a set of three drabbles included within.
Feed your heart to a demon met in a digital-forest. Listen to the trees' music played through fungal threads. Find what waits beneath the moon of the forest-city.

Wild Wings caught my eye on this shelf. I didn't buy it. I would have so many books if I had bottomless pockets.

I went antiquing some weeks back to break up a long road trip from Missouri to Texas, and I was chatting with my mom the entire shop. It was fun, hunting for bud vases for her. One part of the building had zero signal
