Not One of Us #83

Published July 2025

Theme: Gone

“The people and places in our new issue are all gone, sunken, buried, bottled, or vanished, often forgotten. We have a demon trapped in a storm-tempered bottle, a father trying to reach through time and space to his drowning son, a fairy making people disappear in a wink, a house sunken in the earth but still home. Our poets bring us last words spoken in vain, pennies thrown at an outcast man, forgotten places and husks of time, a name buried under a curse. Our artists add more: a man mysteriously digging behind a stump, a century-old bar scene, and a 1960 party dance…so very gone.”
