Do yourself a favour, and make your way to issue #27 of Bourbon Penn, where you'll find my dream-logic contribution, The Disappearing. And then work your way back through the other twenty-six issues of this excellent publication.
2084. The world remains at war.
In the Eurasian desert, twenty-year old Adnan emerges from a coma with memories of a strictly ordered city of steel and glass, and a woman he loved.
The city is the Dome, and the woman... is Adnan's secret to keep.
Adnan learns what the Dome is, and what his role really was within it. He learns why everybody fears the Sickness more than the troopers. And he learns why he is the only one who can stop the war.
Persuaded to re-enter the Dome to implant a virus that will bring the war machine to its knees, the resistance think that Adnan is returning to free the many - but really he wants to free the one.

Twenty-four slipstream stories. Frequently absurd, often minimifidian, occasionally heroic.
I loved this story! I shared it on my twitter (admittedly small since I'm not a huge user) and reccomended it to my writing groups! Do you have a twitter handle I can tag? I also enjoyed your Space Maid story in Factor Four (I appear in the issue after yours!)
