Spent Saturday evening with "The Loaf in the Woods" by @davidmarinowrites.bsky.social in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social. Made me love bread even more than before (a tough task) and love ants at all (a tougher one). Went where I didn't expect it to, which, it turns out, is exactly where I wanted to go.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - The Loaf in the Woods by David Marino

Olaf likes bread fine. No, loves bread, loves a good butter loaf or a fruit tart or a lovely strawberry rhubarb pie from home. Hells, earlier in the season he snacked on a nice seed bun as he was walk...

My favorite of the issue might be David Marino's "Memories of the MindMine," tho, which finds a man named Rat joining the mining of God's head in order to look for memories about the parents he never knew. An orphan, his life has been grim and hard, and he yearns for belonging and acceptance

And slowly he comes to see that he can do something about what's going on. And that the actions and kindness of even one person can make a huge difference in a world primarily run through fear and self interest. It's another great story!

David Marino's "The Loaf in the Woods" is also great, following Olaf on a trading shortcut through a haunted wood, with the shunned spirits who seem only to want someone to listen to them, to care, to help. Though Olaf has his reasons to resist, he also has his reasons to resonate with their plight

This week, we present the Story Hour debuts of David Marino and Kristina Ten! Expect beautiful prose, expect to be moved—but most of all, expect to be surprised. Wednesday, September 17! 7:00 p.m.! Join us! @davidmarinowrites.bsky.social @kristinaten.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com

Color photo portrait of author Kristina Ten, a fair-skinned and lightly freckled woman with curly hair worn long and without bangs. She wears dark blue jeans, a darker blue button-down, two slim gold necklaces, and a gold nose ring. She sits under a dramatically branching conifer that casts dappled shadows, but the sun is strong enough to shine through her hair and show that it’s a bright auburn color. Resting her elbows on her knees, her hands relaxed in front of her, she sits squared off to the camera with her head turned to three-quarters view. She gives the camera a mischievous, knowing smile.
