A collection of micro fiction touching on such surprising topics as the oath of the Cartoon Republic Army, the Archangel plan against the apocalypse, and other surprising, mundane and amazing things happening to people just trying to make it through the day, the same as everyone else. Fifteen stories in all from twelve writers, including Dave Elsensohn, Dana Jerman, Lance Manion, PT Dilloway, and the editor, Tony Laplume.
Tony Laplume was born in 1980, spent a few years in Rhode Island, but started making his mark in the world when his family relocated to Maine, where he attended every year of his schooling, including college at the University of Maine in Orono (except for a year at Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA), where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in English. In high school, he created the comic strip "Newsroom" for the Academic Advocate, which published it from 1998-1999. He wrote a regular opinion column for UMaine's Maine Campus from 2002-2003. He co-founded and worked on the Hemlock literary journal from 2003-2004. In 2007, he co-created the short-lived literary journal Dead Letter Quarterly with A.C. Hall and Derek Koch. He also self-published The Cloak of Shrouded Men that year. He has since completed two additional novels, Pale Moonlight and The Whole Bloody Affair.
