PFN – Cosmic Daffodil Journal Seeking Submissions on the Theme: Lost & Found
LOST & FOUND
Exploring the emotional, literal, or metaphysical aspects of loss and discovery. It’s not just about objects, but about memories, identities, places, people, time, innocence, hope, even entire worlds.
It could range from urban ghost stories about misplaced things returning home to speculative futures where forgotten histories resurface.
“Found” doesn’t necessarily mean resolution — it could be unsettling, unexpected, or bittersweet.
