Four short stories I read and loved in FEBRUARY ✨ MAGICAL GIRL: CORPORATE FAILURE by @thelialao.bsky.social in @havenspec.bsky.social THE SALT AND THE CURE by @rukman.bsky.social in @lightspeedmagazine.com

“Craftsmanship isn’t like water in an earthen pot, to be taken out by the dipperful until it’s empty. No, the more drawn out the more remains. The heart renews itself, Wanderer, and skill grows all the better for it.”
