This is issue number six of eFiction. Unofficially, it is the back-to-school issue. Yes, September is here. Summer is winding down and school will be starting soon, if it hasn’t already. Yellow busses will once again be rolling through your neighborhood en masse. The aroma of pencils, rubber erasers, textbooks, and fresh ink will fill noses of countless hordes of little monsters heading back to their winter asylum. College campuses will flood with swarms of nervous, sweaty freshmen.
Whether or not you are a student, please enjoy the two short school related stories this month, “And It’s Weird Because Eugene Fleming” written by B. Kari Moore and “Apophis” written by Aaron Wilson. One takes place in grade school, the other university. Guess right now which is which. Read them to find out if you’re right.
Also in this issue, a new episode of Tonya Moore’s fantasy epic, Blood Binds. Glen Binger’s, never-ending party, Jersey Surf, continues this month with a new episode. “Tin Man”, Harris Tobias’ short science fiction story is told from a fresh perspective. Christina Hoag presents us with “You Can’t Do Anything Without Me”, an engrossing snapshot of a passionate relationship gone wrong.
