The Primordial Impasse by Marco Joubert

"« Why be afraid of the nothing in store for us when it is no different from the one which preceded us? »

A Flame in Our Midst by Elvert Bañares

In the shadowy kingdom of Dumalángto ruled by Aetudhaman, the one-eyed king, everyone is forced to believe that they are blind.

Moth by Kate Weare & Jack Flame Sorokin

Longing permeates Nicole Vaughan-Diaz’s rendition of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” originally written by Horace Ott as an apology to his girlfriend for his own bad behavior, and subsequently made famous by Nina Simone’s iconic interpretation.
