3 AM Grounder – Xperience Fiction – by Liam Sweeny. The blood was frozen to the pavement by the time Jack and Burris got to the scene, a testament to the cold in the valley. It was rare that they’d both pull short straws to cover detectives Innes and Rossi, who were probably toasting the […]
PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – The Hangar – by Liam Sweeny. It was warm tonight. I thought it was warm, but Smittix said there was a chill.

Prog Digest – An Xperience Column – by Klyde Kadiddlehumper. What a long strange trip it’s been. No, this is not another Grateful Dead article. While I like the Dead and have a ’72 VW bus with a custom plate, that is not where we are headed this month. We are going to be visiting […]
