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 well.

It's our third podcast for the month of September 2013.

There isn't much news to report aside from a thank you to everyone who's come out of the

woodwork to congratulate the Clark's World Staff on their Hugo Wynne.

Thank you for sharing with me that you enjoy the podcast or you subscribe to the magazine.

It really means so much to us.

So very quickly, onto our our third story titled One Flesh by Mark Born and Elizabeth Born.

Elizabeth Born lives in Seattle surrounded by books and yarn. Her superpower is always having exact change and she loves

waking up to the smell of salt water. Born enjoys the companionship of a large

malamet named Kai who helps her with writing by eating the bad pages.

Previously published in Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine, Interzone and Black Lantern

Born was a finalist in the 2012 Pacific Northwest Writers' Novel Competition for her historical novel, The 70.

She is currently working on a second world fantasy.

Elizabeth Bourne's late husband Mark was a film critic and science fiction writer whose work was published in fantasy and science fiction magazine, Asimov's, and a number of anthologies.

Mark was a renowned expert on classic sci-fi films and silent comedy. If he could

have been anyone, it would have been Buster Keaton. Mark Bourne's criticism can be found

on IMDb. This one's on the slightly longer side so I invite you to sit back, relax, and let me tell

you a story. And your very flesh shall be a great poem, Walt Whitman.

Jupiter's immense horizon appears flat as a flitter, stretching beyond the reach of vision. Cloudbanks the size of continents drift in what might be sky.

Organic molecules paint them in autumn colors, oranges and browns and peach and gold.

Behind the clouds the rising sun shines like a silver coin.
