Dark Fire published "The Springfield Vanishings" in Issue #21. This story is best described as my attempt to channel the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft.
 
This one doesn't really count, since I published it myself, but I snuck "Adventure or Bust" into Fools Motley #1 as filler while I was still getting word out and assembling a stable of authors. It's a sword and sorcery parody based around the old theme of 'a bunch of adventurers walk into a bar.'
