The photograph below is what I prefer to call a “Window”. In a way paintings, photos, and other visual arts are “Windows” into another space. Whether it is in the artist’s mind or a recreation of an actual place, these “Windows” allow us to pause for a moment and see someone else’s view.
Why the “Multiverse” then? Many authors use paintings, photos, and other visual arts in order to inspire them to create whole new universes and times for us to enjoy. What message will you find in this bottle? I cannot wait to read about what you find.
This popular contest is a of staple our magazine and will continue to accept submissions quarterly. You will find 3 winners in this edition: one in Fantasy & Fairy Tales, one in Science & Superheroes, and one in Mystery & History. All 3 of these stories were so good that we couldn’t help but give them all a prize.
