February 2022
From the Editor
The first issue of 2022. The year has flown by and we are all happy to publish something new.
Isaiah wrote a unique and fun story from an interesting perspective. Andre is launching a novel called Ascendency, which centers around an interesting teenage character and his journey through life. Andre also wrote some amazing poems. I wrote a reflective piece about observing the night sky, detailing its beauty and its vast endlessness.
It feels really good to be back in action. We can't wait until it's time for our next issue.
Until then,
Evan
