Torn Pages. The photos. And such.
Last night we hit the Torn Pages show. It was the bomb.
Dominique Holmes' illustrations for our story Flight were amazing. No, check that they were more than amazing. That said, do you know any good words for more than amazing?

Other stories from this group include "So Different Now" at the Dogzplot and "That's It" at the CellStories. We think more are to come soon, but in the interim please do hit the...
