Enchantment begins with Dreaming Underwater by Claire Lawrence. Friendship carries us forward in 'The Drink We Spill Out on the Ground' by feature author Claire Humphrey, 'Summer Soup' by Kim Harbridge, and 'Stella Ryman and the Curse of Youth' by Mel Anastasiou. Meanwhile, 'Marty' by Kevin Sandefur, 'When A Man Knows Much More Than We Ever Did' by Kelli Allen, and 'Mayflies' by Liza Potvin remind us that family life offers its own kind of adventures. Jennifer Lott, with 'Thirty Minutes to Live', and Beatrice Morgan, with 'Six-Minute Quiz', show us how to make wise use of our time. Matthew Nielsen's 'Then and Now: An ASD Comic' and Soramimi Hanarejima's 'Vulnerability, Now and Then' offer a spectrum of possibility. With 'The Golden Calf', JM Landels shows us another side of friendship and duty. Poetry by Elina Taillon, Haro Lee, and DS Martin takes us to the moon and madness. Then 'Reap What You Sow' by Alex Reece-Abbott and 'Tourist Trap at the End of the World' by KT Wagner land us back on solid ground.
