Moonday Mag #7: Lost

Welcome to Moonday Mag: Lost. We’re proud to present five short stories that lean more toward the fun side of the spectrum, and ten poems that feel at once relatable and fantastical. Plus, fifteen stunning artworks to tie it all together. (This issue’s visual artists are largely teenagers, which feels very fitting for the theme.)

In “Portfolio” by Christopher Woods, a photographer places himself between final moments and the next. In “Hide and Seek” by Keller Agre, a child loses track of where a fun game ends and a dire choice begins. In “A Trick of The Light” by Katie McCall, something ghoulish may be on the loose. In “Somewhere Over” by Laurel Hanson, a regimented man faces his ultimate impossibility. And in “In a World I Cannot Reach” by Erin L. Swann, a girl risks everything to find the one person she can never get back.

All of these characters, plus the ones we meet in poetry and art, show us what can happen when we let ourselves drift a little too far away.
