Editor's Note
Toxic landscapes. Sometimes, we find ourselves traversing one. Or many. If we're smart or lucky, we find our way out, one way or another.
Wander through the stories in this edition of Scribble, but don't breathe the air.
Taylor Denton's, Eala!, is a sharp and cinematic tale that makes one wonder which is worse: the apocalypse or a forced companion.
Bloodstream, by Chelsea Cambeis, gives us two people who can't or won't let go of what ails them.
Another Man's Treasure, by Peyton Fultz, tells the story of a fascinating woman who finds a needful thing at the expense of another.
Finally, Kacie Prologo's folksy and fierce story, It Aint Charity Puts Food on the Table, introduces us to a group of townspeople who are literally being slowly eaten alive...by the town.
Enjoy, and, as always, thank you for reading.
