En route to Miami, our (TXTbooks) cargo ship sent out a mysterious distress call...
CAPTAIN:
“Something’s happening...
dense purple fog...
and the engine sounds like
it’s about to...

So we sent our Risograph to survey the wreckage and take stock of the losses...
...for insurance purposes.
Pilot our Riso-Drone to recover our missing materials!

The artists are gonna be so mad at us...
DESCRIPTION:
Currents. Driftwood. Supply Chains. Shipwreck. Sea Life. Ocean Garbage. Messages in Bottles. The Beautiful Shimmering Reflection of the Open Sea.
These are themes that *would* be interesting to consider in another scenario.
Sadly, due to the crash, all the artists’ works are missing and likely severely water damaged, not to mention potentially exposed to hazardous materials...
In their shoes, we’d probably be extremely disappointed... What do we tell them?

And it’s 24 pages, packet-stapled, and printed double-sided on a laser printer in stunning c-m-y-and-k toners in an open edition???
