Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 51

Once upon a time a zine went walking into the woods. The wind was gusting and leaves streamed from the trees like light falling through clouds. They glowed. Reds and scarlets, yellows and oranges, turning and spinning. Then: into the shadows, the colors flat. The world shivered as it turned, the cool of evening dropping. The zine would reach a shelf, a table, but for now the mailbox would be shelter. It would be there soon. Not long now. Masthead & colophon Made by Gavin J. Grant & Kelly Link.
