Issue V: Jabberwocky October 2023 jabberwocky noun invented or meaningless language; nonsense . "the translation was slow and full of jabberwocky" In an era of scientific advancement, creatives and writers are being pushed to the background. Writers churn out content, making each piece more philosophical and poetic than the next. Often, writers are pressurized to write flawless descriptions that showcase a command over the English language that us ordinary mortals do not hold. This pressure is especially heightened on teenagers and youngsters, who are expected to have everything figured out and write deep pieces, and it's so much that people often forget that we're literal kids. This issue is to remind our young audience that it's okay to be goofy, it's okay to enjoy "cringe" things, its okay to make immature silly jokes. You're still a kid, and you don't need to know everything. On behalf of the entire team of RTS, I hope issue v: jabberwocky takes away some of the pain and stress of life and allows you to relax and laugh a little. This issue is entirely based on nonsensical, funny and wacky quotes that we hope will bring a smile to your face in their interpretations. From scientific irony to unhinged rants against carrot cake, this issue truly will take you on a journey. A journey we hope you will enjoy.

Rewrite The Stars Review's Seventh Magazine Issue! Issue VII: Arcane Arcades April 2024 Throughout history, humans have found ways to entertain themselves. The oldest board game in the world, Mancala, was invented in 6000 BCE. Europe during the Middle Age was filled with games of skill and outdoor games. There's even archaeological evidence to suggest prehistoric people played some form of games. No matter where you're from or how old you are or what you do in life, you would have played games. Video games, word games, traditional games, online games, board games... the list is endless. In this issue, we wanted to talk about these games. What do these games symbolize for people? Are they merely a respite from the grueling days of mundanity? Are they a form of connection to our community, and a way for us to bond with the people around us? Do they remind us of lives once lived, moments we'll never get back again? Do people like words and love giving our brains mental challenges? We wanted to hear about this source of entertainment. We asked our readers to choose a single game, or talk about games as a whole. We asked them to write as an observer, or from the point of view of inside a game itself. Our readers went above and beyond with their works. We hope this curation of pieces reminds you of games you have played with your loved ones, times forever enshrined in your memories. Take the opportunity to immerse yourselves in the arcades of games our pieces will explore. Happy or sad, funny or serious, silly or stupid, we have it all.
