Did you know that Clark's World Magazine has been around for 10 years?

We are so committed to bringing you the best in science fiction and fantasy every single month.

And this December, we would love for you to tell us what that is worth. We started off as a free online magazine and it is only

with your support, with your donations, with your subscriptions, with your pledges on Patreon, that we were able to grow.

We've got five to eight stories a month for you guys. We've got non-fiction, we've got art, and we've got the

podcast. There are three of us doing all of this work.

If I can implore you for just a moment, if a one-time

donation is all you can do, that's brilliant. If a dollar a month pledge on Patreon is all you can do. That's brilliant. If a dollar a month pledge on Patreon is all you can do, that's

amazing. If it's more, even better. But please, this giving season, it would mean so much to each of us here, especially as

Neil tries to make his dream of becoming a full-time editor come true if you could open your hearts and your wallet and show

us some love that way.

And I get it, not everybody can afford even a dollar a month. And that's where social media, Twitter, Facebook,

leaving a review on iTunes or Amazon, or even setting us email, just to let us know what this magazine means to you and

if you appreciate what we do each and every month so if you can support us

monetarily please go to

Clarksworld magazine.com forward slash donate or patreon.com forward slash

Clark's world magazine all one word.

And thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We love putting this together for you.

So welcome to the first story of December 2016.

I am your host and narrator Kate Baker and today I'll be reading a story titled A Tower for the

Coming World and is by Maggie Clark.
