Featured in our first bi-annual issue is the 2018 Adrift Short Story Contest winning story "Terminal Velocity" by Claire Agnes, which was selected by guest judge David Jauss. Our second featured story, Shane Page's "Her Noble Face," features a former pugilist and his fighting dog. This issue's poetry dives headlong into the complexity of life's extremes; chronic illness, prison sentences, the threat of drowning, and more are laid bare in poems bursting with equal parts honesty and vivid imagination. J. Collings, Jason Hart, and Cindy House round out the issue with stand-out comics.
