Escape Pod, L. Frank Baum, Sci-Fi Horrors, and More.

A few for the morning, more later (barring disaster).

E-Fiction
At 365tomorrows, flash SF "Vacuum Fluctuations" by Glenn Blakeslee.

“Right. And by observation you collapse the wave function. But we can’t always observe, don’t always collapse the wave. There’s a natural process called vacuum fluctuation that causes that to happen without our interference. Otherwise, a particle wouldn’t reveal itself and matter, the universe, wouldn’t exist.”

Audio Fiction
Escape Pod has new flash, SF audio "Standards" by Richard K. Lyon, read by Frank Key.

"After careful examination of your manuscript no 113785, Corbamite, An Insulator Against Gravity, the editors of Review of Physics have concluded that it is not suitable for publication in this journal. This decision is final and further correspondence on this subject will serve no useful purpose."

And at LibriVox, the children's fantasy The Sea Fairies by L. Frank Baum, read by Judy Bieber. 4 hours and 15 minutes.

"Baum hoped to end the Oz series and follow with a new series about a little girl named Trot and her sailor companion, Cap’n Bill. The Sea Fairies (1911) was the first book in the projected series and took Trot and Cap’n Bill under the sea where they had adventures with mermaids and other fantastic creatures."
