A Valentine's Treat
Happy Valentine's Day!Each Valentine's Day, I like to highlight "Ages of Man", a short story I had published some years ago. It first appeared in Underbelly Magazine in 2019, and then was later adapted for podcast by Pseudopod. Pseudopod released the episode on Valentine's Day 2020, so this story is forever cemented in my brain as my one romance story. (It is not a romance story.) "Ages of Man" is a horror story about an android building himself the perfect human. You can read the text version or listen to the audio version using the links above. When you're finished, you can check out some of my other publications on my website:
