“That Story Isn’t the Story” by John Wiswell (previously) is a fantasy story about escape and recovery from abuse (author interview). “Everything Anton owns goes in one black trash bag. His ratty yellow sketchpad, which he bought to draw the other familiars when he moved here, and only ever used three pages of. The few shirts and khakis that he paid for with his own money, before Mr. Bird took control of his finances.” “The Breaks” by Scott King (also available in Spanish) is a fantasy story in which people help each other heal. “When the clerk at the convenience store takes my twenty for the frozen mac and cheese and the cheap wine, I barely notice the fractal pattern of cracks running across his face.”
