I also need to catch up on #DecRecs after missing yesterday, and luckily, I know just what to recommend: @naomikritzer's short story "The Dragon Project," which is hilarious, surprisingly sweet, has a perfect ending, AND is free to read online. Enjoy! https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_03_22/
It's Day 14 of #DecRecs! Today I'm recommending @matociquala's beautiful, heart-full short story "The Part You Throw Away," about family, love, ghosts, food, and survival. It will make you hungry - and the ending makes me cry in a good way, every single time. https://www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/the-part-you-throw-away
