Although Oblong tends to be a flash fiction zine with no discernable theme, several pieces in Issue III seem to have stumbled upon common ground: 'We gave the postman some mackerel for his trouble,' recalls the narrator of Ric Carter's Erraticism', while Nicole Matos's 'Anybody, Antarctica' takes penpal correspondence to the next level. A letter home from Munich and an introduction to an imagined autobiography are just some of the other wonders to be found inside this issue, which touches upon the subjects of communication and correspondence via the art of letterwriting, general musings, and half-remembered stories.
