Strange Horizons - The Weather Dancer By Aisha Phoenix

Amaya sits among empty armchairs and fading curtains in a room brightened by plastic flowers. On each wall there’s a still life, and a grey carpet covers the floor. She stares at her yellowing copy of Bleak House until the words become black insects… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/33d7NAr via IFTTT

Strange Horizons - Someday We'll Embrace This Distance By Niyah Morris, Art by Em Allen

I woke up that morning in the mood for curry, so I ended up at the supermarket. I was pushing a shopping cart down the ethnic aisle, scanning the shelves of spices, when you appeared beside me. I didn’t have to turn to know you were staring. The sid… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2KwwAYQ via IFTTT

Strange Horizons - Invisible and Dreadful By S. R. Mandel

It’s no secret that Carrie’s been having trouble starting her thesis. And, okay, maybe she has been complaining for weeks, and maybe Professor Kawamura has started breathing down her neck, and maybe Yumi and Kazu have been bearing the brunt of it al… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2TRH2NK via IFTTT

Strange Horizons - And Now His Lordship Is Laughing By Shiv Ramdas

When the first breeze of the morning whistles over the green tips of the paddy-stalks to kiss the tawny jute thatching of the bungalow roof, Apa is already out on the verandah. It’s still dark but that doesn’t matter, it’s been more than twoscore ye… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/301dTB7 via IFTTT

Malinche by Gabriela Santiago : Clarkesworld Magazine - Science Fiction & Fantasy

The Eagle Knight came like a star in midday. I looked up, and I saw the profile of his helmet’s beak so sharp against the light, the golden feathers of his wings so bright in the glare of the sun. As though he were Huitzilopochtli himself. And then … via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/32nmpfj via IFTTT

Lapis by Sara Saab : Clarkesworld Magazine - Science Fiction & Fantasy

Szanna, do you remember this game from the twentieth century? Skip along the informational alleys of realspace, leap the archives inter-generationally. A descending white cascade of snow. #FFFFFF. Pixelated scrub. You’re a miniscule skier. via Pocket via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2HG6DEe via IFTTT

To Catch All Sorts of Flying Things by M. L. Clark : Clarkesworld Magazine - Science Fiction & Fantasy

In the giant arachnid’s shadow, her silken face mask—Uranian-blue, luminescent, and vaguely human in countenance—was always a welcome focal point. via Pocket via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2HDEjCy via IFTTT

Amorville by Bella Han : Clarkesworld Magazine - Science Fiction & Fantasy

She had known that she would end up like this, but she gave in. Lights. Music. She closed her eyes. In a sea of beautiful visages, she reached out to the one and only beloved face. “Thoreau—I know it’s a meaningless name to you all. Yet this Thoreau… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/32mzLIF via IFTTT

Dave’s Head by Suzanne Palmer : Clarkesworld Magazine - Science Fiction & Fantasy

I know what Dave wants even before he says it, before I’ve even taken off my stupid work cap or thrown my keys on top of the pile of crap beside the door. via Pocket via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/32nDRA6 via IFTTT

Strange Horizons - This Is How By Marie Brennan, Art by Qistina Khalidah

A child dies. Lost in the woods, he curls up at the base of an ancient oak, and never rises again. Or she falters in the snow, lying down for a moment by the side of the road, just a moment to rest her eyes. Or, starving and alone, he weeps for some… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2V1G6He via IFTTT

Strange Horizons - Notes on a Resurrection By Natalia Theodoridou

I heard about the story from the friend of a friend of an acquaintance, and didn’t put any stock in it at first. In my profession, you hear things like this with some frequency. You’d be a fool if you went running every time you heard someone cry fi… via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2J24rId via IFTTT

Southern Gothic | Eunoia Review

A little girl laughed as she ran over to her father near the railing. She stuck her arms through the rails, waving them on the far side. The deck moved gently beneath Will’s feet as he watched the girl. via Pocket via FREE Fiction / Raindrop.io https://raindrop.io from Diigo https://ift.tt/2IaVtaU via IFTTT
