A floating point of view, guiding. Something rests upon the hill—something we shall call a dog, but it is not a dog. Do you see his form in the tree, lingering? They told you your mother waits in the white city for you—but maybe they meant sister, brother, something we shall call family, but is not family. Unless it is. The flicker of a digital face, remembered.

Cover art: Do Forests Dream of Plasmodial Creep, by Dory Whynot
Very dark gray type on dark screen, evocative of the old white-on-white invisible text, shows a stream of code moving upward and off the screen toward an aftermarket-sort of blinding light. As we follow the words skyward out of darkness, a pattern emerges. The word KANASHIRA synchs momentarily like a jackpot and then cycles out, resuming its upward path to exit via the factory roof portal and vanish heavenward.
“In This Corner of the World,” A. E. Weisgerber
