Liminalities of the Second Contraction, by Scott Payne (fiction; online 11/27)
Cover art: Golden Maze, by Carly A-F
The dome’s interior is an endless summer sky. The eye is lured downward from the bright, cloudless horizon to the swaying bustle of wheat. The interminable fields themselves are intersected with soft, grassy paths, just wide enough for two to walk hand in hand. Merely by looking at the natural splendor rendered in vibrant blue, gold, and green, one could almost feel the welcome radiance of warm sunlight upon their skin.
“Liminalities of the Second Contraction,” Scott Payne
