Goners
by J.A. Tyler

We are up the street again, in front of the once empty house, waiting to see this ghost of a girl shine from its windows. It has been days since we last saw her burning, filling our hearts with ghostly bright. It has been days since we trailed a mummified cat through the bushes, collecting scraps of its shroud, attempting to unravel the mystery of its clunky limbs, the rain and sky visible between its head and neck. It has been days since the cat eluded us and we returned to that once empty house to find it bursting with light, as if the whole world was within its walls, beneath its seams, blinding us. It has been days since we felt that kind of warmth radiating.

Brooks Range
by Iver Arnegard

On a swollen tundra a woman skins caribou—warm blood drying on her hands. Summer in the Arctic. Slicing hide from muscle, crimson flesh glistens in the midnight sun. Her fingers work carefully, wasting nothing.

Observations
on Time
by Tobias Marriage

Dear Reader, through this essay I aim to present two perspectives on the nature of time. First I will discuss the concepts of disorder and irreversibility. Second I will describe our place in the history of the universe. Developed over the past 200 years by generations of scientists, these insights are founded on layers of experimental and observational evidence.
