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

Greetings Clark World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you very well.

It's our third story for the month of March 2014.

The piece is titled Stetamono de Wainai, or not easily thrown away

easily thrown away and it's by Juliet Wade

Juliet has lived in Japan three times and has turned her studies in linguistics, anthropology, and Japanese

language and culture into tools for writing fantasy and science fiction.

She lives in the Bay Area of Northern California with her husband and two children who support

and inspire her.

She blogs about language and culture and science fiction and fantasy at Talk to You Universe

and runs the Dive into World Building Hangout series on Google Plus.

Her fiction has appeared several times in analog science fiction fact and in various anthologies. A special thanks goes out to Juliet because I know there's a lot of Japanese pronunciations in the story and she was kind enough to send me a Google talk video that she recorded with all the correct Japanese pronunciations and no doubt I will still

screw them up but thank you for the effort. You can find Juliet at her website.

Cram School Psycho is just a bully's insult until I started hearing voices.

One of them sounds like a whistle, and the other one like a rusty trumpet.

And when I sit at my desk at midnight, slowly hitting my head against my schoolbooks.

They discuss my future.

She'll probably pass the exams on her own.

No, she won't.

She might.

She studies hard.
