You are listening to a Clark's World magazine podcast with your host and narrator, Kate Baker.

Welcome to our fifth story for the month of March, 2025, issue 22.

Our piece is titled Hook and Line, and is by Koji A. Day. And you know what? We can't bring you

these stories without your ongoing support. So if you are

a subscriber, if you are a Patreon supporter, if you are a Clark's World citizen, thank you. And if you

haven't yet been able to do so, every little bit counts. Every bit helps us pay the writers,

the artists, the nonfiction authors, and the staff who put this all together.

We cannot do this without you.

So please go to patreon.com for slash Clark's World to see how you can be a part of this magazine each and every month.

Our author, Koji A. Day, is an American immigrant to Bulgaria,

a technical administrator by day. Her true passion has always been stories. She writes about

all varieties of human relationships with each other, with technology, and with the greater

universe. Her work has appeared in Clark's World Apex Magazine,

Daily Science Fiction, and elsewhere.

Her first full-length novel, Casual,

will be published in February 2025.

And if you like what you hear,

you can go back to Resistance,

and the uncurling of Sumsata.

So, my dear listener, I hope you can sit back, relax,

and let me tell you a story.
