    About this ebook

    Our eighth issue is our first Fantasy themed issue! We received an enormous amount of great submissions this month, and it was hard to narrow it down to the amazing stories you have before you!

    Seas of Europa is a Space Exploration fantasy with a Lovecraft bent!

    If You Let It explores the fantasy of exaggerated legend in a wild tale as a man discovers his "next-room" neighbor is dead.

    The Great Escape tells the story of a fantasy between two lovers out for a night of passion.

    Something to Tide Us Over shows what happens when two people, faced with the end of the world, decide to spend their last hours as blissfully as possible.

    Bushfire explores the fantasy created by the mind under extreme physical stress and pressures.

    We truly enjoyed bringing you another issue of Uncharted Frontier, and we hope you enjoy reading it even more!

    Welcome back to the Frontier!

      A Letter from the Editor

      Who doesn’t love fantasy fiction? I mean, I know we love it here at UF. From the first time I read The Lord of the Rings when I was 10 years old, to recently just finishing the latest book in The Iron Druid Chronicles (which I highly recommend), I’ve been a fantasy addict for as long as I can remember.

      This month we feature stories that are fantastic in some form. These can be urban/modern fantasy to something all of its own. We really hope you enjoy it! Spring is right around the corner in the Northeast US! Trust us, we can’t wait!

      If You Let It

      By Jack Coey

      It was the smell that did it. The guy in the next room thought it was rotting food or maybe cat shit, and it got stronger and stronger. He watched to see if he could see the man coming or going to his room but didn’t. He saw the cop on the street, and one day told him about it, and the cop said,

      Show me.

      They stood in front of the door for not more than about five seconds and the cop said,

      Dead body.

      The man was shocked. The cop called down to the station and it wasn’t long before an ambulance was in front of the boarding house. Two police cars showed up, and they broke down the door and sure enough there was a body lying on the bed. There was no sign of a struggle or violence, and nobody knew who the deceased was. The cops looked for forced entry or robbery and found nothing. The ambulance men took the body to the morgue. The cops opened the two windows and said it may take a couple of days to get the smell out. It was 2003.

      It was about a week later the man was coming back to his room, and he saw an old lady in a wrinkled blue dress standing at the foot of the stairway leading to the rooms. She wore a blue hat with a feather. He stopped, and looked at her, and she looked back at him, and he asked,

      Help you?

      and she said,

      I was looking for someone.

      Do you know his room number?

      Twenty-three.

      I’m sorry to have to tell you he’s deceased.

      The woman was stricken, and he moved to hold her. He took her arm and she was crying. She cried and after a time moaned,

      Too late…oh…too late.

      He held her and didn’t know what to do. There was a bar on the corner and he could get her a coffee and he could have a beer.

      Could I buy you a coffee?

      She nodded her head, and he led her slowly to the Jolly Rodger. When they entered, the cronies at the bar all turned and looked at the man and woman, and one of the men yelled out,

      Hey, Dugan, you got yourself a hot one, and the men laughed, and Dugan led her to a corner table.

      He got her seated and went to the bar and whispered to Dutch,

      Help me out with this babe and I’ll explain later.

      Dutch grinned.

      Whadda want?

      Dugan returned to the table with a cup of coffee and a bottle of beer. She wanted milk so Dugan went back to Dutch for a carton of milk. The old woman was lost in thought. They sat at the table in silence and from the corner of his eye, Dugan could see the cronies at the bar watching the two of them. The old woman and Dugan looked at each other briefly.

      "Who
