Feet to trample,
Trunk to crush,
Men become Man-slaves,
Or die in the dust.
Look how they tremble,
And bow to the tusk!
fragment of elephant script, age unknown.
–
Clad in iron, proud and decadent, the elephants rule. The lords of ancient Tusk grind the world beneath their feet. Humanity is in chains. A calf is born, and a slave will rise…
The first chapter of Tusk can be read in issue #1 of Terra Magazine, appearing soon at a newsagent near you. More information can be found here: http://www.terramagazine.com.au/

(rumour has it that the preceeding issues may also get re-released in a downloadable format? Giddy-up)
Speaking of Midnight Echo, don’t forget about the AHWA Short Story and Flash Fiction contest. The winning stories will end up in a future issue of this magazine, as well as scoring a snazzy plaque and bragging rights.
