This issue is made up of a lot of writing from my Creative Writing major work (first semester, second year of university). It features stories and poems about larger than life characters in too-small places. The rest of the non-fictional writing is about nationality and ideals, and the differences I noticed in various parts of the Former Yugoslavia I once lived in or visited.
“I want to exist as a human being, not as a nation-state personified. I don’t understand why that becomes an insult to some people. But if I remove myself from this struggle, then I am not aiding in any way. But if I join any struggle, then I am taking sides, and I do not want to take sides in a world I still see as utterly messed up.”

This issue is made up of a few shorter pieces of writing on a number of topics, including a terrible job, university, nationality, a boy and overall uncertainty.
“You gave me this name so you gave me a history. A thick book bound by leather covers and prejudice. You inject me with biases and preconceived identity. It swims beneath my skin and no amount of talking it away or cutting it open will dry it out completely.”

If you never go to regional Victorian town Sale, I hope for your sake you don't, it's all rather abstract and pointless. And if you do, you'll be too busy erecting a hasty stockade, counting your dwindling ammunition and preparing for nightfall and the assault of hundreds of drunken bogans. In case you hadn't guessed, I'm not too keen on my former home town. But don't worry, this zine will not be a bitter, hate-filled rant awash with sarcasm and the pain of rejection. Wait a second, there's an extra word in that last sentence. In case you're wondering, the word is 'not'.
6 pages, 21 cm x 15 cm, exceptionally bad handwriting, but absolutely worth it.

When I was about ten or so my mother gave me a letter she had been saving for me. She wrote it after having flown from Beirut to England in one of her last weeks of pregnancy so that I could be born a British citizen like my father. The letter is her attempt to document her pregnancy and towards the end she mentions the heavy shelling around their apartment block and that while on the bus to the airport (which had to cross the Green Line) it was suddenly hijacked by the Amal milita looking to take hostages. Since she was female and had a Syrian passport she was not taken, although two men who were either British or American were not returned to the bus...
