Greetings Clark World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

This is our sixth story for the month of August, Issue 119.

And the piece is titled, Alone on the Wind. And I believe that this is our first German

translation story. The piece is written by Carla Schmidt and is translated by Laura Harmon.

Now Carla is a German cross and is translated by Laura Harmon.

Now Carla is a German cross-genre author of short fiction, novelettes, and novels.

Her work has been nominated for the German science fiction and German Fantastic Prizes.

Alone on the Wind was nominated for all three.

In 2009, her short story, Away with Stella Maris,

won the German Science Fiction Prize for Best German Language Short Story.

She lives with her husband and two daughters in Berlin.

So I invite you to sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

I am the first wingbeat.

I started the stones rolling, but now I need help. We can't keep

cowering here like hens on their nests. We have to act, and soon because my

memories have started sinking into now and we.

I need to share them before they stop meeting anything at all, but you shy away from me.

Why?
