  • There is at least one gunman (possible two) controlling the situation inside. Police are on the scene outside.

T’reka is regaled by tales of the Emu War…by smarter-than-expected emus.

[AN: This has to be a descendant of the original T'reka the Inquisitive]

She had found them fascinating on her trip to the famously dangerous Australia of Earth. And they found her fascinating, too.

When she discovered that they had a language… That was the most interesting thing to cause T'reka the Questioner to extend her stay.

Central-Australian Emus were intelligent.

“Ah nah, we’re not

Real talk time, people.

This short story? The very first Amalgam Universe story I ever wrote? It’s going to get unpublished, soon.

Why?

Well, because I’m trying to get it published on the pro circuit. I’m waving it at all kinds of sci-fi magazines, and having it already out on Smashwords means that some publications won’t take it.

unwomanlythoughts:

microaggressions:

When a financial institution asks me my “mother’s maiden name” as a security question. Because it’s assumed that I have at least one and no more than one mother in my life AND that she married AND that she gave up her own name AND that that part of her identity was erased enough from my public history so as to be a password to access my private information.

Challenge #00707 - A342: Honey-Bunny Booboo

A window into the daily life of a mixed family roughly one generation after “The Invasion of the Rabbit Women!”.
