This issue is a deeply personal reckoning with memory, loss, and the quiet ways people survive what should have broken them. The stories contained in issue 005 allow us to return to the neighborhoods that raised us and wounded us, to friendships shaped by danger and loyalty, to love that demands courage, and to truths that refuse to stay buried. From the streets of Kensington to hidden beaches, family homes, and private betrayals, each piece carries the weight of lived experience. This issue does not look away from addiction, violence, control, or grief, but it also honors moments of grace, humor, and fleeting safety. Together, these voices ask what it means to remember honestly, to tell the truth even when it hurts, and to claim your story before it disappears.
