Another busy week and I'm trying to wrangle a new story of my own, so my thoughts on this week's stories are in the form of Haikus.
Friday, May 11 - The Homecomming by Mike Resnick in Escape Pod
a boy is transformed
his father's anger falls to
her memory and loss
Saturday, May 12 - Sibling Rivalry by Carine Engelbrecht in Everyday Fiction
unborn twins argue
Egypt's last curse will greet
the firstborn this day
Sunday, May 13 - Steve Herbert by Robert Shearman in One Hundred Stories
a cold hearted doc
falls in love with the patient
and the thing inside
Monday, May 14 - A hole to China by Catherynne M. Valente in Lightspeed
a girl's quest into
a story full of lovely
creatures, burning hot!
Tuesday, May 15 - Star Maven by Sarah Crysl Akhtar in Flash Fiction Online (a mother's day story)
mom's in hyperspace
she'll keep your ducks in a row
remotely, from home
Wednesday, May 16 - A Marble for the Drowning River by Ann Chatham in Beneath Ceaseless Skies
ghosts in the river
The living and the dead each
have their own concerns
Thursday, May 17 -The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu in EscapePod (among other places)
this touching story
just won the Nebula prize
and it's worth a look.
