Welcome to The Mythic Circle #10. We have a first in this issue: a pair of stories written by father and son. Dan Ryan, a Phoenix, Arizona, high school student, has written a re-telling of the Romeo & Juliet story entitled “The Chain." His father, Charles W. Ryan, provides us with a short story called “Janus Winked."
