excerpt from issue 3
"The Isiola monastery has sunk into the sea. That’s what Bishop Dakar’s letter said, but I didn’t believe it— and not just because I’d have to blame myself if it were true.

Issue 3
Flight, the dream of humanity for years without number, has come a long way since the Wright brothers flew almost the length of a Boeing 747 using a lawnmower engine. The US Space Shuttle takes off like a rocket and lands like a plane. An ice runway has been built in Antarctica to facilitate flights from Hobart. Solar-powered aircraft grace our skies. And GUD Issue Three seeks to fly to even stranger places—why not take your seat, buckle yourself in, and enjoy the ride?

What's your creativity?! (oh, and did we mention the contest's not over yet!)
The chapters are brief, often terse, and the story progresses swiftly--at times a little too swiftly, in that I felt the characters bounced a bit too much in mood and disposition. At the same time, the quick pace kept me turning pages.
