a letter from the editor |

hello! welcome to issue 2 of perhappened mag. a lot has changed since we last met! we now have a full staff after bringing on our new lead reader vaishnavi sharma and three new readers: kate belt, idowu odeyemi, and richelle sushil. together, we had a fantastic time reading pieces for this issue, and we hope you'll do the same!
though it may be impossible to travel across the country or the world right now, these 65 incredible pieces will transport you across space, time, and memory for the nostalgia trip of a lifetime. under heavy skies, streets cleave the land, tongues whisper myths, and wind turns these grasses to sea. follow the call of the road, wherever it may lead, until you've arrived at your destination. please enjoy the ride!
