RELEASE DATE: What's better than a new issue from FF? Two issues on the same day! In our first-ever dual launch day, you'll be able to get FF#26 and Saros #4 in one handy download package.

Get excited for Monday, October 27th!

Cover art for FF#26. A woman's face surrounded by mirror shards, each containing an eye, along with shards of noh masks, one containing an eye and one a horn. A pair of evil eyes loom at the top.

Cover art for Saros #4. Fungi-type tentacles entwine Big Ben and London in general. Two figures stand on what appears to be a broken down roadway.

Plenty to Eat
by Emma Burnett

I let them in when they bang on the door. A half-dozen people from down in the village, people who ignored the meteorologists, who refused to leave when they said the river would overflow. Now they’re up here on my hill, not mocking me but begging for shelter.

I let them in and give them hot drinks. I tell them to help themselves, smile at their false gratitude. I’m mindful not to drink anything.

In the coming days, I practice my sad face at hearing about so many people being washed away, glad that my pigs have plenty to eat.

Is there some sort of campaign to stop inserting these things into bras (especially sports bras) as a matter of course? Like, to let people opt in/out? They’re so wasteful.
