"Elephants" by Venus Argento Barrington
As the end of the world looms, four women gather for a strange, makeshift Christmas party where existential dread, suppressed grief, and desperate hope unravel through arguments, laughter, and a surreal gift exchange.
Content Warnings: It deals with death and contains potential blasphemy, including two uses of the Hebrew name for G-d and a reference to child molestation.
"Is This the War?" by Jillian Rees-Brown
Synopsis: While searching for the father she'd never known, Carmen comes to Bell Island, to find out if he might be the 'Unknown Seaman' buried there. She meets the Storykeeper and her Faeries who carry Carmen along the storytelling journey of the 1942 German U-boat attacks at Bell Island, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Content Warnings: Descriptions of WW2 battle scenes.
