EVERYTHING ON THREETake a straw and stick it through your skull. Probe around a little bit. Just until you hit the right nerve. The right memory. A good memory. A great memory. Then suck it out and plop it onto a scale. How much does it weigh? How much is it worth? To you, but also to a whole slew of hypothetical buyers? How much would some other rememberer pay for experiencing a slice of your life? How much would you pay for a moment of a stranger’s?

In Otherworldly, you'll find my story along side the stories of other fantastic up-and-coming authors such as Ben Wolf, Christopher D. Schmitz, Darby Harn, TR Nickel, Jeri Shepherd and more. |
