Not terribly long ago, Aaron was going through some of the zines in his collection and stumbled upon this fabulous mini-zine by Emerson Dameron. Mortality was written in 2004, possibly at the Allied Media Conference in Bowling Green Ohio. Many copies were made and given out, but it has long since been out of print. We are happy and proud to make it available for download.
