It's nearly the end of the year although I'm quite certain it's a trick. It certainly flew by faster than it should have, in my opinion. But enough of that babble.
Discovering a short story that speaks to you is fabulous, realizing that a short story has remained with you long after the initial reading is even better. Here are links to some short stories that have that pervasive quality. I highly recommend giving them a read. At least once. Your mileage may vary, of course, tastes being subjective and all that. There are quite a few stories I've read in various print magazines that have that same quality as well, but these are all stories that are available online.
The Birdcage Heart by Peter M. Ball - Daily Science Fiction
The Old Equations by Jake Kerr - Lightspeed
My Father's Wounds by Ferrett Steinmetz - Beneath Ceaseless Skies
The Jenny by Cheryl Rydbom - Redstone Science Fiction
And if you haven't visited Electric Velocipede in a while, we are currently rolling out Issue 23, our first electronic issue. We have some wonderful short stories, fantastic poetry, and more. Some is already up on the site with more to come in the next few weeks.

Ooh, these should occupy my tomorrow :D
Thanks for the links. :-) I love when stories or novels speak to me and stick around for a while. Can't wait to try these on for size.
Agreed! (Don't ask who I'm agreeing with, I like to stay mysterious)
Thank you, Cate, Anthony, and Lee! I hope you enjoy the stories.
*insert cool, mysterious music here*
:D
Thanks DWG.
But don't forget "Like Origami In Water!" I loved that story. :)
Thank you, Jake! :)
And I hit enter before I could say you are very welcome! Sorry about that! I've not had enough coffee yet today. :)
