Laura Blackwell (she/her)Our most recent Story Hour brought us a gorgeous array of speculative fiction from Cliff Winnig and Marion Deeds! Microfictions, resistance drama, a poignant dance of death, and a slyly amusing ghost story. Surf the wave of tonal shifts! But do not investigate the sounds of the crying baby. THERE IS NO BABY. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/StoryHour2020" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StoryHour2020</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShortStories</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ShortFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShortFiction</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AuthorReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuthorReading</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/CliffWinnig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CliffWinnig</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MarionDeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarionDeeds</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=601202589391104" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=601202589391104</a>

Dace MerryweatherIt's 2035. I am the most famous musician alive. My family has just been rendered into paste to feed the great machine. Angrily I decide to rally against this injustice with my art. "write a protest song against the great machine!" I tell my interface. It bloops once, and is done. The next day I hear my song playing on the feeds. The beat goes hard, and the lyrics sing the praise of the great machine. This faintly irks me, but I can't remember why. I am then rendered into paste. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/shortfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shortfiction</a>
