Introduction
Of course, giving a story two endings is sort of unorthodox. But Smashing Novels, ever since its first issue, hasn’t been a particularly orthodox magazine. We’ve tried, and we are trying, to give you different stories with different slants, and we’ve been doing our darndest to give you the best stories possible.
