Still catching up with 2022 #shortfiction reading. This one, "Blooms of Sorrow" by @amandaghelms , grabbed me.

I've been meaning for at least a fortnight to give a shout out to the podcast episode of Levar Burton Reads featuring "Your Rover is Here" by L.P. Kindred, originally published in #FIYAH Magazine.

Sorry I don't have a link for the podcast; the only links I could find included my podcatcher's URL or Stitchr's.

Content advisory: strong language, violence, terrorism.
