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 last story for the month of February 2018,

Issue 137. For those of you who support us, I'd like to give a quick shout out in the thank you.

We couldn't do it without you. And for those of you who do have the means and would like to support us,

please go to Clark's world magazine.com forward slash donate or Patreon.com forward slash Clarks World or check out our newest venture

Clarksworld citizens.com. Neel has put some really cool stuff together for you on

that particular page. So our last story is titled The Girl Thing who

went out for sushi and is by Pat Cadogan. Pat Cadogan was born in Schenectady

New York and now lives in London with her family.

She made her first professional sale in 1980 and has subsequently come to be regarded as one of the

best new writers of her generation.

Her story Pretty Boy Crossover has appeared on several critics lists as among the best science fiction stories of the 1980s, and her story Angel was a finalist for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the World Fantasy Award.

One of the few stories ever to earn that rather unusual distinction.

Her short fiction, which has appeared in most of the major markets, including Asimov's

science fiction, and the magazine of fantasy and science fiction, has

been gathered in the collections, patterns, and dirty work. Her other books

include Dervish's digital, tea from an empty cup, and reality used to be a friend of mine, and as editor, the anthology, the ultimate cyberpunk as well as two making of movie books and four media tie-in novels.

If you go back to November 2014, we brought you Cody.

So without further ado, I hope you can sit back.

Relax, and let me tell you a story.

Nine decks into her second hitch, Fry hit a burg in the main ring and broke her leg.
