'Second Testament' - Peter Schwartz


DOGZPLOT is a quarterly literary journal interested in publishing high quality literary fiction, creative non-fiction,
artwork, photos, random thoughts, and poetry if it's absolutely mind-numbing.

DOGZPLOT is what the description says, erratic, so send us precise, playful, honest, original, disgraceful, hopelessly
optimistic, dirty, beautiful, ugly, thoroughly proofread, over the top writing. So don't send us the good stuff. Send
us something that will blow our fucking minds.
