Farrago Edition 6 Submissions Open!

Somehow, it’s the sounds that were recorded before you were born that sink deeper into your stomach, making you miss something you never had, something which may not even be real.

Dance to the plastic beat, the voices urge. They’re saturated with optimism—no, with anticipation. An anticipation swimming with visions of bright city landscapes, of technology that verges ever closer to magic. An anticipation that’s bigger than the body which produces it—communities and generations move in unison to its resounding, demanding pulse. Their hope spills outward, reverberates around concert halls, and dances faceless through city streets. It leans toward a promise of something they may never have, something which may not even be real.
