Montag looked at the river. We'll go on the river. He looked at the old railroad tracks. Or we'll go that way. Or we'll walk on the highways now, and we'll have time to put things into ourselves. And someday, after it sets in us a long time, it'll come out our hands and our mouths. And a lot of it will be wrong, but just enough of it will be right. We'll just start walking today and see the world and the way the world walks around and talks, the way it really looks. I want to see everything now. And while none of it will be me when it goes in, after a while it'll all gather together inside and it'll be me. Look at the world out there, my God, my God, look at it out there, outside me, out there beyond my face and the only way to really touch it is to put it where it's finally me, where it's in the blood, where it pumps around a thousand times ten thousand a day. I get hold of it so it'll never run off. I'll hold onto the world tight someday. I've got one finger on it now; that's a beginning.
--Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
We accept original stories, poems, articles, artwork, photography, or translations. We are especially soliciting articles this year, as we usually don't have enough to represent this medium adequately.

Drop off at: | Chinquapin's mailbox at the Literature Board. (Across from the Kresge Co-op). |
Email to: | chinquapin@studentmedia.ucsc.edu Most formats are fine, but we prefer: tiff for images (this has a higher quality for printing), and html for text. (If you are using Word, do not use the export to html function; it is hopelessly broken! Just give us the word file in its native `.doc' format.) |
Please include your contact info. We will need it during editing!
