    January 7, 2025
    by Arthur Mulder, Short Story Competition 2023

    Fight between a Tiger and a Buffalo, by Henri Rousseau Report to be circulated among sergeants, staff-sergeants, and first-lieutenants of the Root-513 Subcommittee.  It is generally believed to have started somewhere a little west of Cincinnati.

    Unfinished House

    December 5, 2024
    by Francisca Figueiras Meinedo

    November 21, 2024
    by Raquel Rodríguez Mulero

    When I think about the act of writing, I do not conceive it as a structured procedure. Coming from a very organised and task-oriented person, this is rather disruptive, but maybe that’s the reason why I believe in arts finding their way through everyday life and established patterns as much as possible.
