TWO MOTES IN THE ZEUGMA DARK

by Sagan Yee

Author spotlight

Every date followed the same pattern. After the dinner and drinks, and the long
moonlit walk along the canal, Jules would casually remark that the hangar was
not far from here, and would they like to come see? Once outside the heavy metal
door, he would pause with his hand above the security scanner,

WINDING SHEETS

by Kenneth Schneyer

Author spotlight

Gallam didn’t look at the clothes the family provided until he had already
prepared the body. “Prepared” was putting it mildly: the man was covered in
wounds—blade wounds? Bite wounds? Gouges, rips, punctures, slices. At first,
Gallam wasn’t sure the corpse would actually hold together for burial.

HOT HEARTS

by Lyndsie Manusos

Dallas gazed out the viewing window of her ship, beheld her planet, and
despaired. She’d anticipated something more. Better. She’d studied the
worst-case scenarios. She’d read about the lost causes. But she’d never really
believed one would be her first. Why had the program given her a shell? Dallas
shivered, recovering from her travel hibernation.

ASHES LIKE TEA LEAVES, LAVA LIKE HONEY

by Ai Jiang

Mother whispered to us about the beings on Earth she regretted creating; the
ones whose only merits are their minds, but their minds rot so easily. They are
not like you, children; they cannot see so clearly. We asked if the eyesight of
humans is poor. Mother only chuckled. Her laughter now carries in the wind,
wraps around our bodies—water in the clouds, flames in the lava.


ZEKELO’S BARTERHOUSE & EMPORIUM

by Patrick Hurley

The two children regarded Zekelo with solemn eyes. If they were intimidated by
the twisting horns jutting from his head or his obsidian claws, they gave no
sign of it. “Hello, young ones. Welcome to Zekelo’s Barterhouse & Emporium, the
finest shop in all Limbo. Here, we offer phylacteries, nostrums, and rare
antiquities from every plane of existence.”


THE LIFE YOU’VE GIVEN ME, RUSTY

by P.A. Cornell

You’ve only ever had one rule: never cross the stream that divides the wastes
and the green land. That’s where the robots are, and the robots are our enemies.


AUTONOMY OF A MURDER

by Russell Nichols

I’m not telling you this to convince you of my innocence. The verdict has
already been reached, the seal of my fate has been affixed. In about
twenty-three minutes, I will be forcibly escorted to a certain maximum-security
prison, where I will begin my life sentence without parole. Against my will. But
in these final moments, an irresistible impulse compels me to present my
perspective.

CAESURA

by Ashlee Lhamon

When a human head hits a road at the right speed and the wrong angle, the
asphalt will take off an ear like a belt sander. Dogs and bears and chimpanzees
rip ears off during attacks. People rip off ears during attacks; in domestic
disputes, drunken brawls, and reason-defying misadventures, people relieve each
other of their ears like they’re tearing off stubborn pieces of bloomin’ onion.

SULLY THE GOD

by Philip Gelatt and JT Petty

An excerpt from the unfinished memoirs of Sullivan Kingsley. Text was dictated
to and recorded by a Kvasir Scrivener™. Any poetic editorializing can be assumed
in accordance with the spirit of Mr. Kingsley’s intentions, as interpreted by a
conjured instance of the severed hand of Kvasir, Norse god of poetry,
peacemaking, and beverage production.
