Issue #2: Collide-oscope

 

“Collide-oscope,” a term of our own invention, is based on the device of the same name: a children’s toy made of broken glass, gems, or paper that utilizes a complex network of mirrors to display ever-changing patterns of color and light.

 

In the same vein, this issue strives to showcase just that: characters clashing, universes colliding, shrapnel coming off ideas as they smash together across both heart and page. We invite you to keep your minds open and your wits sharp as you take in the following pieces from our contributing writers, each chasing after this theme of collision through the lens of their own paradigm.
