"Shards of white gleam in the starlight. My teeth, crusted into the frozen roadside soil. Eyeteeth. The molar I chipped in middle school." Love how @mynachang.bsky.social plays around with time in this tense, beautifully written piece of flash. Wonderful writing.

I had so much fun chatting with @electricsheepsf.bsky.social this morning about a few of my stories… and also hope and rage and despair and the objective fact that Dragon Age 2 is the best Dragon Age. An honor and a joy to be invited. Kind of made me want to drop everything and write a short story 👀

I'm sorry, I have no chill about this, but I have a story coming out in Reactor on Nov 11 called "The Next Closest Thing". When your mom is in hospital for maybe the last time, she orders a clone to comfort you. But there's something not quite right and anyway, she doesn't get the Pagliacci joke.

This remains one of my all-time favorite speculative fiction poems. I'm sure a lot of spiritual teachers wish they could deliver a call to repentance as directly to the moral jugular as this little mermaid poem.

It all started on this day. Thank you for a wonderful twenty years.
Text in the center reads: 20 Years Oct. 2006 - Oct. 2026, clarkesworldmagazine.com

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.
