Out today, “The Way of Things” is my slipstream/magical realist take on the cyborg story. Read it here: http://www.crackthespine.com/2015/04/issue-144.html
First line: “I wake to find that my hand has turned to steel.”
They tell me that the stories that receive the most feedback have a good shot at being published in the print anthology, so if you like it, please consider commenting on the Crack the Spine page. Thanks!
Done! I love the feelings you evoke in this piece, they’re a nice contrast with the character’s journey. I also appreciate that the end wasn’t what I expected, but feels oh so right.
Thanks, Karen!
