in this episode, Helevorn and Fortunus Games talk about Fortunus' as-of-yet unpublished short story, "Stillness," about the character of Tom and the difficulties he encounters when he moves to New York City from rural Alaska to go to law school.

This story will be part of the "Sam in New York" anthology that will be released next year on Tapas! Thank you for all of your support this Inksgiving on Tapas - without your donations, the anthology would not have been unlocked (it was one of the ink goals - and we surpassed the goal of 10,000 by spades!).

We cover the following:

1. Plot, style & themes

2. Tom’s family - Elements of Aleutian culture

3. Tom and New York. How does Tom accommodate in the big city and at a prestigious university? Is he what he has prepared for?

4. Tom and Sam - what kind of relationship do they have?
