THE SHIFT
14 DYNAMIC WRITERS - CROSSING INTO SOMETHING NEW

Dear Orbiter,
Every Saturday, we land on the softest soil of Planet Ral, where the skies spill stories, the moons whisper poetry, and the terrain is thick with thought.
This week, we explore The Shift — that moment of crossing, the in-between space where change stirs, stretches, and remakes us. 14 writers take us to the edge and over, each offering a 200-word essay that captures a threshold: leaving, arriving, becoming, undoing. And then, their voices. In one-minute recordings, they reflect on why they wrote what they did, how it made them feel, and what still lingers beyond the words.
On Planet Ral, you’ll find fiction with pulse, poetry with teeth and essays that haunt. Whether you're a reader, a dreamer, or a creator orbiting in between, this issue is for you.
