Fiction
• At Aurora Wolf: "The Children’s Crusade" by Tom Howard.
"The big house on top of the mountain looked as busy as an anthill someone had stirred with a stick. Family and friends arrived day or night, asking about Jimmy’s mama. She was in the hospital. They gave Jimmy and his little sister sorrowful looks, followed by a pat or hug as they moved on to console their dad."
• At Enchanted Conversations: "The Two Sisters" by Loni Klara. Fairy Tale.
"Not a single soul could be seen treading the paths of the small lonely village in which our ghastly tale will ensue. It was a dreary day with no radiant sun to light the path and no sweet music coming from the households. Quite easy to presume then, that the occupants were obviously not in the mood for lively instruments on this specific day. Alas, the wind blew strongly over the houses, drowning any sound that may entail from within, and carrying its force to the sea nearby, which was quite a rising tempest."
• At GigaNotoSaurus: "The Litigatrix" by Ken Liu.
"The old man, Hae-wook Lee, had been bedridden for months. He lay on the sleeping mat, wrapped in a blanket. The drugs helped him sleep, and forget about the harsh words of his son."
• At Kasma SF: "HCV 541-35-1998" by Bernard J. Hughes.
"You walk down the garage ramp of 1600 SW Second Avenue. As you walk past the cars parked there, you remember the old Porsche dealership that had stood there where you were a child. You get near the elevators. You are dressed in a nice, professional, off-the-rack black suit, a plaid scarf in the colors of Autumn, a specially modified pair of gloves, and a stocking cap. You dip your gloved-hand in the pocket of your coat."
