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

Greetings Clarks World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very, very well.

Happy December 1st.

There's not a whole bunch of news to report,

so I'm just gonna go on with the usual spiel of thanking you for listening and subscribing

and all the wonderful things you've done to propagate the interest of Clark's rolled out into the universe. Thank you. If you

bought a subscription, if you've supported us on Patreon, if you've bought an

anthology, these are pretty awesome gifts to give people

being that time of year. But if you already have, if you've dropped us a note or

comment on the website, you're awesome. Thank you so much. There are times

where I sit here and I am just completely awestruck on just how much this magazine has grown in the short time that I've been here.

It's pretty fantastic and we would be nowhere without your support, so thank you.

On to our first story of the month,

Fatima's Wound by Kali Wallace.

Now Kali is a Colorado girl recently transplanted in Southern California.

She used to study earthquakes and mountains and continents.

Now she writes stories.

You can find stories by Kali in LightSpeed,

Tor.com, Asimov's Weird Fiction Review, and she's been featured in

Clark's World in April 2014 with Water in Springtime.

Shallow Graves, a Y A horror novel, will be published in 2016.

So, without further ado, I invite you to sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.
