what they don’t tell you about checking out multiple library books is that when one book is mid you will be tempted to read the others and thus never finish a book ever again

Guillotine by Max Franciscovich "You meet who you might call your lodestar at a campus party you did not want to attend." Link ⬇️ strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

FICTION

Quote
You meet who you might call your lodestar at a campus party you did not want to attend. On principle, you dislike attending things, though you have nowhere better to be; by this point you have died three times. Later, you will be hard-pressed to explain why you let your glossy-haired business-major roommate drag you along. Hard-pressed, really, to explain yourself at all.

The guillotine was conceived as swifter, painless, more humane. You touch your throat. You wonder.

A photo of Henri Rousseau’s “Fight Between a Tiger and a Buffalo.” The painting has a landscape of lush green foliage and fruit trees bearing bananas and oranges. In th center, a tiger has buried its face into a buffalo’s neck. Text reads, “We Who Have Been Raised by Tigers.”
