Teaser:
You are attending a play, and the players--are they actually present?  Or just voices?  You enter to hear them, interacting with whatever roles they have, but they fade away.  You find them trapped in glass boxes: recordings, regrets, too sad a fate to leave unmarked...

===

Contributor biographies:

Yoon Ha Lee writes sf/f stories and poetry.  She abuses both her B.A. in math and her physics-grad-student husband for this purpose.

Yune Kyung Lee is a librarian with an affinity for code and lyrical prose.  On sunny days, she can be found basking with a book or three.
