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

Welcome to the fourth story of the month of June 2023 issue 201.

Again, we can't bring you these stories without your incredible ongoing support.

And as I've mentioned previously, or maybe this is your first podcast and welcome,

Amazon's making big changes.

They're screwing us out of a whole bunch of income.

We need to convert that income into other ways to support the magazine.

We need your help. So if I can possibly employ you to do so, please go to patreon.com

for slash Clarksworld. Or by a subscription, you can go find out all the myriad ways you can support

the magazine if you go to the website, parksworldmagazine.com and that is Clark with an e.

And to those of you who have been ongoing supporters,

we've checked us a few bucks, we've told a friend, we've really spread the word about the magazine.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We cannot bring you any of this without your support.

So our story is titled Imagine Purple Haired Girl Shooting Down the Moon is by Angela Liu.

Angela Liu is a Chinese American writer from New York City. She researched mixed reality at

KO University's graduate school in media design in Japan with a focus on new narrative platforms

and tangible interfaces for remote communication. She now works in IT consulting in Japanese

to English translation while raising a Pokemon obsessed toddler. Her stories and poetry are

published forthcoming in strange horizons, the dark fusion fragment, cast of wonders,

uncanny magazine, nightmare magazine, among others. And if you like what you hear, please consider

going back to another Angela Liu story, Pinocchio photography. So my dear listener,

I hope you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.
