Greetings Clark collectual citizens.

I hope this June has treated you kindly.

It is our last story for Issue 117,

and the piece is titled Pathways,

and is written by Nancy Kress.

Nancy is the author of 27 novels,

three books on writing four short story collections,

and over a hundred works of short fiction.

Her fiction has won six nebulas, two Hugo's, a sturgeon, and a John W Campbell Memorial Award.

Her work has been translated into many languages, including

Clingon, none of which she can read.

Nancy lives in Seattle, Washington

with her husband, writer Jack Skillingstead.

You can find her at her website, Nancy Kress.com.

And if you like what you hear, you can go back to September 2013 and listen to or read First

Principal.

So I invite you to sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

The Chinese clinic weren't like I expected.
