A rather bad picture of some nice lotus and beef stew I had last year. I'd always wanted to try it and I saw a Chinese restaurant near me that served it and had to get some.
As a whole, I don't think I would ever crave this dish, but I really enjoy the texture of lotus roots, so I thought it was nice. The roots aren't particularly flavourful, though, so I can imagine others wouldn't enjoy it much.

December 2018. Issue 21. Postscript.
The after that comes before, the ghost of the future, this postscript marks the end of issue 21. Unless today is Saturday 8th December, 2018, in which case rejoice! For today is the day the ghosts rise, today is the day this issue comes to (un)life, so keep coming back through the day and there will be more and more tiny ghost stories to send shivers down your spine, to bring a little of the winter chill into your cosy home. But if that date is behind you (try not to look over your shoulder, who knows what might be lurking there), then the issue is truly done, but have no fear! Stick right here, keep reading, there are twenty issues to read before this one (twenty!). Ghosts are the last of this year's cycle of mythical creatures, following unicorns, fairies and werethings. And even before we became a quarterly 'zine we were regularly publishing tiny stories. 101 Fiction has been publishing one hundred word stories for nearly 8 years as I write this, so there are plenty back there, just waiting for you to discover them. Hopefully you've enjoyed your visit (and the ghosts haven't scared you away from coming back next issue). Thank you for reading. And always, always, always, thank you to everyone that helps make our tiny 'zine a little bigger. Thank you to everyone who pushes us out there, in tweets and retweets and blogs. And thank you doubly, of course, to our contributors, who breathe life and imagination and craft into their words and worlds; it's a pleasure and a privilege to work with you. If you want to be a part of this, if you want a run at a 100 word story (it's fun!), then keep an eye out here on 101fiction.com or our twitter, @101fiction, for the next theme and submission period announcement. Keep writing. Keep reading. Have fun. -John Xero via 101 Fiction http://www.101fiction.com/2018/12/december-2018-issue-21-postscript.html (comments welcome!)
