Editor's Note
“Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.”
Nothing is what it seems in Macbeth. First, witches appear friendly and helpful. But wait, they are actually witches that enchant and manipulate. So, seeing is believing, right? Hold on. What about the dagger, dripping blood? If Macbeth can see it, the dagger must be real. Ah but then he says, 'I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.”A guilty conscience, it would seem, has more acute vision. Most of the events of this play are figments of Macbeth's imagination, underlying his precarious emotional balance.
Transcribing this to our current situation, held hostage between a rock and a hard place, this Saturday we bring you one short story. Short, yet it takes up the entire page? Words that are relayed one away and understood another. A story with a satisfying ending when the detective solves his case.Or, maybe just an end?
