The multi-talented Trudi Topham joins us from the excellent eZine, Pantechnicon. Trudi will be looking after our slushpile, as it has grown to monstrous proportions in the past six months. Her expertise and assistance will be most welcome!  \nAbout Hub  \nEvery week we will be publishing a piece of short fiction, along with at least one review (book, DVD, film, audio, or TV series) and we’ll also have the occasional feature, too. We can afford to do this largely due to the generosity of the people over at Orbit, who have sponsored this electronic version of the magazine, and partly by the generosity displayed by your good selves.

The holovision blared some fem program with a glitzy off-world set and super gorgeous men and women prancing around, jiggling and rippling from all angles.  \nHe muted it. With each step, Wilson's proxleg shot fire over absent nerves. The medics said the phantom pains should have faded by now, one year after he'd triggered that plasma snare. Yet, he still felt them every time he had to walk more than a metro bloc.  \n\"Taro?\"  \nHis wife lolled in their slender bunk, her eyes opening to slits.  \n\"Where's the boy?\" he asked. \"Taro! Come give daddy a hello. \" The single room had few hiding places for a not quite two-year-old, even one that had picked up the trick of outrunning his dada with remarkable precocity, although with imperfect brakes and steering.  \nLidi tittered. \"Have to call louder than that.\"  \nWilson excused the derision in her voice; he knew she'd hoped for better when she'd married him, maybe even a chance to go off-world. Corporate hacking and security were bigticket knacks back then, before the war started. The war still raged, shutting down most of the private sector economies, and leaving plebs like him suitable only for the military. But after Wilson had everything from his right thigh down sheared off in a trap, he wasn't even fit for that.  \nBy the light of the holovision, Lidi's pupils were huge, expanded so wide the blue of her irises were thin rings. Lying next to her on the crumpled coverlet was a neon green, peel-off backing.  \n\"You're kinked!\"  \n\"Utterly,\" she agreed.  \n\"Where'd you get the credits?\"  \n\"Top of the line, lover. Got a whole strip of 'em. 'Nuff for you, too. \"  \nWilson's hands gripped his wife's shoulders. \"Where's Taro?\"  \n\"Gone gone gone. \" Her reply was a lilting sing-song. \"Gone Daddy gone, Taro's gone awaaaayyy-- \"  \nHe shook her until her head flopped like a broken doll's. \"What did you do?\"  \nLidi plucked at his hands, the giggles shut off. \"Q-quit shaking me. \"  \nHe released her, and she fell back, boneless. Blinking through a haze ofnarco, Lidi sat and pushed a lock of dirty yellow hair from her face with a trembling hand.  \n\"W-what're you doing home?\"  \n\"They couldn't use me. Where's Taro?\"  \nThe limb-quaver spread, shaking Lidi's body as though she had the chills.
