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

Greetings Clarkshold citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very well, even though it's very late in the month. And I wanted to

apologize right off the bat because I took a good month off from recording. I needed a break.

So you're going to have all of these podcasts that I owe for the rest of the month of December

hit at the end of December. So yay, happy holidays.

What a way to bring in the new year, right?

One of my new year's resolutions is to not do this to myself every single month.

So cheer me on and hopefully we can get through 2019 together.

It sounds very very odd having to say this so late in the game but our second story for the month of December, issue 147, is

titled Bringing Down the Sky, and is by Alan Bowe.

And once again, those of you who have stuck with us through 2018 and long before that, thank you.

And if you're consistently asking yourself, how can I possibly be a part of this magazine each and every month?

Guess what? I have the answer for that. Go to Patreon.com forward slash Clark's World.

We're about 90% on our way to the next goal. We need your help.

And for those of you who already are and have been supporting this magazine each and every month,

each and every year, You guys are amazing. Thank you so so much for your help.

So our author, Alan Bao, is an illustrator and multimedia designer currently bouncing around East Asia with no real plans or life

goals. He has been known to occasionally write poetry and prose in order to cope with the bone-breaking

emotional strain of drawing pretty pictures for a living.

His work has been published sporadically in places like Rice Paper and Cakeda magazine.

He spends his free time traveling, jamming, and feeling vaguely underqualified while browsing other people's author biographies.

You can find Alan Bow at his website Alan Bow.com.
