Today's story is the big so-so by Erica L. Satyevka.

Erica L. Satyka is a writer and or friendly artificial construct forged in a

reality ignoring her to-do list, and adding to her collection of tattoos.

Her debut novels Stay Crazy from Apex Publications won the 2017 British Fantasy Award for Best Newcomer and her short fiction has appeared in Clark's

World, Shimmer, Interzone, and the Dark. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her spouse Rob and

an indeterminate number of cats.
