A recovering werewolf wrestles with his inner beast. A magical pond reflects the past. The laws of physics bend and break, and intrepid dreamers alchemize the benign into the monstrous. Featuring the winners of the 2025 Dreambridge Short Story Contest, In My Element invites you to pull back the veil between our world and another, exploring the elements of human - and inhuman - nature. Sometimes things fall apart, and what is stitched back together is more extraordinary than before. Gather your courage and enter the unknown - what you find there might change you forever.
