Drops of Crimson - Reece
Notley
Week Negative Six of My Life
Watching as a
drop of crimson flows down the sharp
edge of the straight blade, I become
entranced by the deep, rich meaty
taste of metal in the air...this
single drop of blood poised on a
flat gilt brink...my life begging to
be released from the earthly bounds
of my body.

Wings - T. A. Moore
The first time that Sam saw it he thought it some sort of
bird. Or maybe a large moth, something like that.
He had been in his study, working on his
latest commission ‘The Little Red Kettle’, when he heard
Judith’s cat enter the house through the cat door. He
dragged his eyes away from the skinny legged kettle just in
time to see the smug look on the cat’s face and the
fluttering thing in its mouth.

Just Like Everybody Else - J. Lee
Moffatt
It was stuffy, the air of the tavern
filled with smoke from cheap cigars and the smell of human
sweat. Keeping to the shadows I watched the miners, day
laborers and sailors have their fill of beer and stew. I
could have had a beer or some whiskey to blend in with the
crowd, but with my choice of vocation I really never could
fit in. I took another sip of my brandy. It wasn’t a bad
vintage, but I thankful that I wasn’t drinking it for the
taste or effects.
I needed my wits about me. Nothing was
going as I planned. It all should have been clear to me by
now. At this rate, I was going to have to start over from
scratch again.

One
review by Jenn WolfeWe all do it. We line our shelves with
things like The Iliad, and The Complete Works of
Shakespeare, because in our flashing light, sound byte,
over-informed society there is still some respect paid for
what we term, “the classics,” and this is considered to be a
classic of French Literature, one of the last of the great
Gothic romances, a tale of horror, mystery, and romance. At
the time I purchased it, I mostly got it because I loved the
musical and played the soundtrack incessantly in my car.
What soprano hasn’t ever wanted to be Christine?

review by Sahr
The Breeds were designed and created to serve their
designers (and whoever they would be sold to), but were
finally "rescued" and their past revealed to the
unsuspecting public. Now new laws are being written to
accommodate having a new "species" on the planet. Some
humans are horrified while others see the Breeds as nothing
but soulless animals that should be destroyed (or worse).
As the Breeds learn more about themselves they discover new
secrets that are capable of causing their death or worse if
the humans find out.
