Description:

#Audio. #FlashFic A little girl meets her dog at the pound.

Excerpt:

But something about this poor creature, primate head, exposed skull, cybernetic attachments as well as prosthetic limbs, reptilian (well, almost avian) claws and a furry, wagging tail, pulled at the heart strings. Made you feel sorry for it.

Weather Man

TBM-1808.21 – DDOP-021: The Weather Man

by

Weather Man

Description:

#Audio. #FlashFic His collection of storms might save them all.

Excerpt:

But Sam – that was his real name – went on collecting, stuffing sunrises into jam jars and snow storms into pickle bottles. He even managed to cram a coastal fog into a container one day, but it had been a wild capture. The bottle – once a home for spicy Kalamata olives – had retained the faint odor of garlic and brine. He wasn’t sure the integrity of the fog could be maintained.

by

Age of Plastics Fish

Description:

Flash-fic, read by Selena Taylor. Life finds a way.

Excerpt:

She scooped the transparent fish out of the water, expecting it to gasp in desperation, but it seemed completely tranquil, suspended between her hands as content as it had seemed in the tide pool where she’d found it.
