The basis of this zine is a series of simple illustrations of a non-descript person with a bag of Wonderbread in hand, heading toward an undisclosed location. The person advances over the course of a few pages, finally opening the bag to feed the birds. The accompanying story is one of love, hope and a little bit of sadness, wherein the author wishes for the power to be a musical genius, to write the song that will strike this special person (“like a rod through the central hurt in you”) and make the adored see that they are beautiful and loved. I hope that this zine can become that song. (Amber Forrester)
