The print version is delayed, but you can listen to my story "Revolute" right now. It's about a guy stuck in a time loop at a protest. Sort of. Something's weird about this time loop... Listening to someone else read your story is so strange, but fun--I'm glad The Fiddlehead produced audio versions!
