The stories and poetry within Issue 7 confront fear and anger, successfully or not. Hope and resilience are shown through the character's search for a future, for love, for belonging. There are also stories that show the outcome of giving into fear, when they let doubt claw its way inside. There's a need for balance, to accept the dark within yourself without letting it shadow you.EditorialEditorial by Rebecca BennettShort FictionYou and I and I and You by Camden RoseChew, Chew, Chew by Z.
