I entirely neglected to mention here in the blog that the second part of the Abyss & Apex flash issue is online at: http://www.abyssandapex.com/

The summer fund drive is still moving along, as well. A few people have been very generous, more than a subscription to a print magazine would have been, and the odds at this point are that everyone will take home a luv-ly prize. Many thanks to to those who have donated in any amount.

Abyss & Apex Issue 9 (May/June 2004) part ii:

Inside the Witch's Oven by Eugie Foster
"When the rain smashes into the window like a desperate animal, I think of you...."

A Farmer Considers Geologic Time by Tim Myers
"These fields I work, these limestone hills and swales,
were once no more, beneath the swells,
than remotest possibilities...."

When We Replicated Charles Dickens by Bruce Boston
"...we were not sure what to expect. You could never be sure with the artistic types."

Part i features:

Swansong by Kyri Freeman
Clown Eggs by Jay Lake
Paranoia by Samantha Henderson
Heat Sink by Wendy S. Delmater

This month's selection from the Archives:

Loose Maria by M. Thomas from Issue 1 (January/February 2003)
"It wasn't really Maria's fault she was no good with soft words. She never heard them from her mother, before the woman died. She rarely heard them from her customers. Besides that, she had a sharp mind and a sharper eye that saw all the small, veiled nastiness behind smiles, the harsh words they saved up for their children, their spouses, their mothers and fathers, and she didn't like it...."

Coming in June... More Flash! It's Part iii of Issue 9!
