There, squirreled away amongst shelves of books and games, you might find a patchwork of writers drinking coffee, shouting boisterously about character arcs, and appealing to one another about why you should read or watch their new favorite thing. A cozy smattering of creative minds and delightful lunatics, with the audacity to share a story or two.

Among the offerings from this humble writing group, a kaleidoscope of musings:

A young woman determined to rectify her wayward dating life against her responsibilities as the babysitter for an eldritch god.

A carefully-lain heist for a legendary spice that transgresses into something full-up with shadows.

A machine that grants a tantalizing opportunity-to relive your most important memories, even the ones that destroyed you.

A man whose opinion on reality is, generously speaking, somewhat tenuous.

A wise-cracking camel. The best kind of camel.

Would you look at that, there's even some poetry.

These, along with other wonderful, creative labors, fill out the pages of this, the debut collection of the Onwards writing community.
