IDENTIKIT theme blurb
Walk blindfolded into a house, fall dizzy from the smell of mothballs, know that you’re at Grandma’s again. Walk into a new city, forget your past, say good morning to yourself. Walk into a zoo, ask an orangutan for the sum total of its experiences of life in captivity, get hit by a banana. Identity, that elusive creature. Who are you? Frankenstein's monster was built from parts. Just like you got your mother’s eyes, and your father’s hairy toes. Even personality is a composite. Send us a postcard.

WORD LIMIT
3000 (800–2400-word pieces preferred)
