Our story this week is Nerves into Circuits by Lyra Moyer. His story was originally published in Heartline's spec in November 2023.

Lyra Moyers wanted to be a writer since they were a stream-waiting, story-inventing

child. Now, they chase that dream in Colorado, where they live with their husband, backyard skunks,

and overflowing collections of journals and books. When they're not writing, they can be found

down a Wikipedia rabbit hole or basking in a sunbeam.

Their short fiction can be found in Troll Breath magazine, Heartline's Speck, Cosmic Horror Monthly, and several anthologies.

Lyra's contemplations on international music, early 2000s television, world building, and other bizarre phenomena,

along with pictures of their doodles, can be found at Lyra Moyer.blogspot.com.

Our narrator, Rosie Sentman, is an actor, voice actor, singer, and all-around theater artist,

originally from Georgia, and now living in Boston, Massachusetts.

Outside of performing, they are an independent researcher focusing on Cosmic Horror and the Decadent Movement,

and are passionate about disability rights, surrealism in theater, and their orange cat, Whitby.

You can find more about their projects and contact them at rosycentman.com.

Now, get ready for some disabled heroes to fight as a team because it's story time.
