Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast, episode 328. The Drabble

cast is a weekly audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by

strange authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

Really entertaining story for you folks this week,

and I'm feeling hungry enough to get straight to the

entree so let's do it. We bring you local delicacies by Fran Wild.

Fran is an author and technology consultant.

In the past, she's worked in the restaurant service industry,

and I think that'll come through just a little in this week's story.

You folks out there have ever hosted, bartended, or waited tables before. This one's for you.

Fran's short stories have appeared in Asimov's, Nature, Daily Science Fiction, and upcoming and

beneath Ceaseless skies. Her interview series, Cooking the the Books has appeared at Strange Horizons,

tour.com, and on her website which you'll find linked to our show notes.

Fran's first novel, Bone Arrow, is forthcoming from Tour in 2015.

This story is a travel cast original.
