Hey, folks,
Up today, my Bower Bird, at the Journal of Microliterature. Just under 1000 words, it's actually a chapter from the novel. It's also one of Kate's favorites! The story first saw light here. Thanks to all those who commented!
The journal itself is interesting. The editing process is completely blind, and no-one knows who the editors are. So there's no chance of nepotism or name recognition. It's just the art, ma'am... ;)

Amazing story, Bill. I had no idea about these blue collectors, it fascinated me, the way you wrapped it into the story.
