The Haunted Traveler Vol. 1 Issue 1
Welcome to the first issue of The Haunted Traveler; a roaming anthology seeking to collect the strange and the wild stories that we all carry. Those words hidden in the deep dark that linger around. Weasel Press is proud to have released this first collection of material and is excited to do more anthologies in the future. The Haunted Traveler is a non-profit, Horror and Science Fiction anthology that accepts a wide variety of art media such as photography, short fiction, creative non-fiction, digital artwork and more. Our anthology publishes twice a year. To find out more information about our submission process, please review our submission guidelines. Our first issue was released on March 28, 2014 and we couldn’t be more excited to feature the explosive talent that has been submitted to us. Our idea is to have an anthology roaming around parts of the world with a collection of frightening and strange stories; a mysterious anthology with a collection of ghosts.

you?<br />
WOMAN: This is the first time that our orbits have intersected.<br />
We are, after all, complete strangers. From different<br />
worlds, so to speak.<br />
MAN: I don’t understand what you want. Don’t get me<br />
wrong, it’s nice meeting you.<br />
WOMAN: I didn’t intend to startle or disconcert you. I’m<br />
merely offering to escort you away from the onerousness<br />
of the everyday … (smiling) the erstwhile every day, I should<br />
say. Language can be so imprecise and inadequate sometimes.<br />
(Taking a step closer to the man) I would rather deal in<br />
embraces and touches.<br />
MAN: (Nervously taking a step back) Onerousness? Erstwhile?<br />
I sure don’t hear those words every day.<br />
WOMAN: Words I’ve picked up in my travels. I have to<br />
dust off my use of English. I haven’t been in this part of the<br />
world for a terribly long time. (Moves closer to the man.)<br />
MAN: (Stepping back) Where have you been?<br />
WOMAN: You name it and I’ve been there. (Opening her<br />
arms toward the man) I will need to embrace you…<br />
MAN: (Takes another step away from the woman) We don’t really<br />
know each other.<br />
WOMAN: A warm, friendly, compassionate embrace.<br />
MAN: A compassionate embrace?<br />
WOMAN: <strong>The</strong> most compassionate of embraces.
