Three Monsters that Are Not Metaphors
Apr. 13th, 2021 03:04 pmI have a flash fic up today at Cast of Wonders! Three Monsters that Are Not Metaphors, part of Cast of Wonders episode 450, Little Wonders 28: Metaphors and Allegories. Give it a read and/or a listen, along with the other excellent story I'm honoured to share this episode with, This Is Not My Adventure, by Karlo Yeager Rodríguez.
It's always an exciting treat to hear my stories read out loud by someone who is not me. I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's the most tangible possible proof that someone else HAS read it. Or possibly it's the chance to hear what my words sound like in someone else's head. Maybe it's just my misspent youth in community theatre coming back to me. Or maybe it's the thrill of power? Like, ooh, the actress made a noise like a wail there! Because that's what I wrote and she had to! Dear god, I could write anything and the narrator would have to read it and do what it said! Dance! DANCE PUPPETS! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Anyway yes go give mine and Mr. Yeager Rodriguez's stories a listen.
