In these eleven stories—collected from the second year of Platypus Press’ Shorts digital fiction series—a widow reminisces as beetles ravage the trees outside her home, a man strives to prevent his sister uploading her consciousness into a mechanical bee, and, in the midst of 9/11, a young girl traverses grief—both cultural and familial. Stories where history and memory are central: from war, both global and civil, to a dystopian near-future, to love lost and love never truly known.
Featuring stories from: Michelle Bailat-Jones, Zahid Gamieldien, Hasanthika Sirisena, Aaron Burch, Sofia Mostaghimi, John Elizabeth Stintzi, Aram Mrjoian, Jenessa Abrams, Khristian Mecom, Joseph Han, and Garrett Biggs.
Anthology edited by Michelle Tudor.
