You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarks World Citizens. I'd like to welcome you to the third and final story for the month of February 2012, issue number 65.

Before we begin, two things, a thank you to those of you who came up to me at

Bosco in this past weekend and said hello. It was wonderful getting to know you guys.

Also, I'd like to give a big shout out to the Nebula Award

nominees. It's a good short list this year and specifically I'd love to mention

E. Lily U.

With her short story that was featured in Clark's World entitled The Cartographer Wasps and

Anarchist Bees and Cat Valenties silently and very fast, which were both nominated in their respective fields.

And now on to our third and final story.

This piece is entitled All the Young Kirk's and Their Good Intentions by Helena Bell.

Ms Bell is an occasional poet, writer, an international traveler,

which means that over half of what she says is

completely made up. The other half is probably made up and the third half is

about the condition of the roads. She has a BA, an MFA, a JD, and is pursuing a tax

L.L. M. in order to fulfill her lifelong dream of having more letters

follow her name than are actually in it.

Her work has appeared in Brain Harvest, Daily Science Fiction,

and Rat Hull. Her website can be found at W,W.

NUET, Creations. W.

further ado, let me tell you a story. All the young Kirk's in their good intentions by Helen Abell

for Clark's World Magazine Issue number 65
