Ratings before each story.

Good morning, good day, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to podcast on the Flying Castle of Fantasy Fiction. I'm your host, Matt Dovey, and it is my pleasure to present for your

enjoyment a fine triptych of flash stories collated around a theme of possibilities.

We're opening with a podcast original, The Only Map is Memory by B. Morris Allen,

narrated by Hugo Jackson and rated PG.

B. Morris Allen is a biochemist turned activist turned lawyer turned foreign aid consultant,

and frequently wonders whether it's time for a new career.

He's been travelling since birth and has lived on five of seven continents, but the best place he's found is the Oregon coast.

When he can, he makes his home there.

In between journeys, he works on his own speculative stories of love and disaster.

He was the editor and publisher of Metaphorosis magazine for its nine-year run.

Hugo is an author and streamer on the east coast of the USA.

Born in the UK, they moved to the US to be with their partner, and has since published the first three novels of a five-buck young adult fantasy series,

the Resonance Tetrology, through Inspired Quill. They also stream semi-regularly on Twitch,

under the username Pangolin Fox, and run a yearly charity stream on World Pangolin Day to raise

money for one of their favourite animals, the aforementioned pangolin.

And now pay attention, for our tale is about to begin. And if you don't remember everything...
