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 extraordinarily well.

This is our fourth story for the month of September 2019 issue one 56

For those of you who have listened to the stories previously to this one who stuck around around, who's chucked a few bucks our way via

Patreon.com forward slash Clark's world, every little bit helps. While we are

committed to free online fiction, the cost of putting together this issue each and every month continues to rise.

So with your help, you will continue to ensure Clark's World's longevity and commitment to bringing

you excellent fiction each and every month.

So our fourth story is titled Lapis, and is by Sarah Saab. Sarah Sa Sob was born in Beirut, Lebanon.

She now lives in North London, where she has perfected her resting London face.

Her current interests are croissants and emojies thereof, amassing poetry collections, and coming up with a plausible

reason to live on a sleeper train. Sarah's a 2015 graduate of the Clarion Writers Workshop,

her stories have recently appeared in Shimmer and The Dark.

You can find more of her on Twitter at Fort Knightley Sarah, and also at her website Fort Nightly Sarah.com.

And if you like what you hear, November 2015 brought you in the queue for the World

Ship Munewar.

And April 2016 brought you the Cedar Grid. So my dear

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

Florid Park. Sana, do you remember this game from the 20th century?
