The editorial reflects on taking the “first step,” building creative projects, and the value of effort before results arrive “in the wild.” The issue’s fiction section introduces “Hidden Underneath” by Malin Larsson, beginning with a New York cab driver navigating tense street encounters. Additional sections include “The Reach of Children,” “Wolverine and the X-Men,” “Scarlet,” and the feature “Gun For Hire.”",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research

before a first step. There’s a single moment, trapped in amber, where you’ve decided to do something but haven’t yet and the oddest thing about that moment is how peaceful it is, how serene. You know what you’re about to do, you know that your actions will have consequences and you know you’re ready for them. They are Van Wilder’s ‘dare to be great’ moment writ large, a point in time where just for a second you are exactly as big and heroic as you think you are.  \nIt’s been on my mind recently, not just because of Hub but Pseudopod. I’ve been the host over there for about two years and a little while ago I got talking to a colleague of mine over there about an idea. He said it sounded great and I should podcast it myself and... I didn’t have an answer.  \nBecause he was right, there is no reason on Earth why I shouldn’t podcast the story myself, other than one; comfort. Pseudopod’s a great job and I have instant access to a framework already in place soit made sense for me to assume that I could podcast my work through them and not have to worry about the set up and promotion.  \nBut that’s as important a part of the work as the story itself. Getting people to care, working out how to make a project work, producing it and finally seeing it out in the wild. At University my friend Ali and I put together a magazine and distributed it for free. We really did put it together too, down to cutting out the individual articles and photos and gluing them to the master copy. It was very hard work made all the harder by folding it around lectures and I can honestly say I was never happier at University than during that period.  \nAll that work, all that fun came from one moment, the moment before we had the idea, the moment before we talked about it and I’d forgotten how much fun projects can actually be,  \n1  \nSo, the work starts here. I get to cut an entirely new story from scratch and it’s going to be tough but it’s absolutely going to be worth it. So, if you’ve got a project you’ve been meaning to get around to, then get around to it. You’ll get out twice what you put in.  \nFinally, in a relentlessly shameful plug, I will part of a small, elite group of Vikings ascending the Minster Tower in full gear for Red Nose Day. If you feel like giving some money to a good cause or at least find the thought of me suffering through 275 steps in full Viking kit amusing, go to [www.myrednoseday.com/JorvikGamesVikings](www.myrednoseday.com/JorvikGamesVikings and donate)[ and donate](www.myrednoseday.com/JorvikGamesVikings and donate).  \nHub Magazine is Sponsored by Harper Collins  \nFICTION  \nHidden Underneath  \nby malin larsson  \nThe cab driver sighed and crept another foot towards the traffic lights. New York rang with the endless clamour of engines and honking but that didn’t do anything to drown the irritating sound of Chinese or whatever language the middle-aged couple in the backseat was speaking. They were gesticulating wildly and drowning him in questions though they had barely left Grand Central. The cab driver gritted his teeth; this late in the day he had no patience with small yellow people speaking bad English. He spat through the open window and nearly hit a bike messenger swooping past, zigzagging between the cars at a breakneck pace.  \nThe cab driver was a strange-looking man, small of height and width, who needed a hard pillow on the seat to get a good view of the stree","cbCaijAPMtB4ZlUH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijAPMtB4ZlUH","pdf",418072,"English","# Editorial\n## The First Step\n# Fiction\n## Hidden Underneath (Malin Larsson)\n# Review\n## The Reach of Children\n## Wolverine and the X-Men\n## Scarlet\n# Feature\n## Gun For Hire (Guy Adams)","[{\"question\":\"What theme does the editorial emphasize in Issue 77?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes taking the “first step,” the calm moment before action, and how creating projects involves effort beyond the story itself.\"},{\"question\":\"Which fiction story begins in the issue?\",\"answer\":\"“Hidden Underneath” by Malin Larsson begins with a New York cab driver dealing with unsettling passenger interactions.\"},{\"question\":\"What other sections are listed in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"The contents list reviews (“The Reach of Children,” “Wolverine and the X-Men,” “Scarlet”), and a feature: “Gun For Hire” by Guy Adams.\"}]","Hub Magazine - Issue 77 - Editorial | PDF",1789970387,18]
