Editor's Note
Without care and maintenance, structures collapse, whether they be physical structures like roads and bridges, emotional structures like relationships, or the mental structure of one's own sanity or sense of self. This small collection of pieces takes us down pathways to ruins big and small.
A startling debut from Sarah Unger called For the Love of Green follows a college student's pretty road to oblivion.
Rebecca Cyr's cinematic gem, The Bridge, mourns the crumbling of infrastructure that has nothing to do with steel.
Will Hearn's The Table asks if a marriage is worth "keeping up," but no one is listening.
Finally, Justice McPherson presents a man lost and slipping on sandy foundation In The Shadow of the Dunes.
Enjoy, and, as always, thank you for reading.
