Longshot Island: Face Forward

This is Vol. 1 of the Longshot Island magazine publication released in 2016. Stories by Barry GJ Quinn, Stephanie Buosi, M. H. Vesseur, Benjamin Logan Miller, Dhaval P. Nayi, Nick Yates and EN Heim. What does Face Forward mean? It's a reference to society. It's that condition of looking ahead even when things may not seem right. It's marching in time when the clocks are all broken. Students in the classroom must face forward.
Old men stumbling down busy sidewalks must face forward. Soldiers face forward as they head into war. Everything we see and hear tells us to face forward or be lost! But maybe, just maybe, it's time to stop and look around. As a publisher, it occurred to me that writing is an attempt at individuality. This magazine presents a collection of truly unique stories. The voices stand out from the crowd.
They cry out, look, life is more than the rules we all grew up with. Life's what you make it. Welcome to Face Forward.
