out of the box.
out of the ordinary.

ABOUT THE THEME
A glint of a knife under the fog of whispered secrets, questionable characters casting shadows in the veil of dark, a game with no winning hand, a flick of a wrist to reveal towers upon towers of spare change, the only right price for the purchase of silence. We’re all liars and cheaters here, faceless and free.
Welcome to the world of INCOGNITO.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Poetry, prose, personal essays, digital/traditional art, and photography.
RULES
We sort of hate rules (rulebreaking is kind of what we stand for), but we do have submission guidelines in place to make sure that we’re able to accommodate and properly review your piece!
