“Skin and Glass” by @radhapyari.bsky.social is a wonderfully evocative piece about loneliness with one hell of a closing line. It feels almost more like a poem than a narrative (what is a prose poem? Is this one? I have no idea), but it’s got power clarkesworldmagazine.com/sand_09_26

6) Skin and Glass by @radhapyari.bsky.social : future disease causes people to lose life years if they make eye contact so nobody does. Life sucks. Love the attitude and fighting spirit

This is such a short piece but it says so much about isolation and our reluctance to express our need for connection, in a world where looking after yourself comes with the promise of longevity. by @radhapyari.bsky.social in @clarkesworldmagazine.com

I'm in love with @radhapyari.bsky.social's novelette, An Ode to Stardust, published at @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a beautiful tale about a station commander with chronic illness and her exchanges with a peculiar race of aliens. clarkesworldmagazine.com/sand_02_23/

This is my little king, Blade, the inspiration for Midnight in my @clarkesworld.bsky.social novelette An Ode to Stardust. Blade is too curious for his own good, adores chasing stuffed mice, and sleeps tucked under my arm all buttery soft. https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/sand_02_23/ #cat #sff #scifi
