The Lit.cat is an online literary magazine that keeps each issue within a single, scrollable page at a reading length under half an hour. This week's issue features Mollusk John, a charming assault on the ears, and Captain Picard sipping his coffee. It also features a four-armed defender, a greater appreciation for Moses, and your college philosophy major. It will take 23 minutes and 8 seconds to read in its entirety, which is conveniently how much awkward time you'll have to yourself this year at your family's Thanksgiving dinner.
