You are listening to a Clark's World magazine podcast. I'm your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings to Clark's World Citizens. I do hope this podcast finds you holding up while all things considered. Thank you for sticking with us.

Thank you for downloading this podcast every single time we release one and thank you you, above all else, for your support and your patience.

While we ramped up with the new computer, the new setup,

the new software after that catastrophic last couple of weeks.

You guys are amazing.

And a big thank you to those of you

who reached out personally to ask

how you could contribute to the Laptop Fund.

I really, really appreciate it.

So our fourth story of the month for April, issue 163,

is titled The Thought Box.

Totslo Tomase is a Botswana writer of fiction, poetry, and architectural articles.

Her work has appeared in terraform, Apex Magazine Strange Horizons, Wasafiri, and other publications.

Her poem I Will Be Your Grave was a 2017 Reesling Award nominee.

Her short story virtual snapshots was long listed for the

2017 Nummel Awards. Her novella, The Silence of the Wilting Skin, is forthcoming

from Pink Narcissus Press in 2020.

You can find her on Twitter at T-L-O-T-S-A-M- A, S.E. And also at her website, Tautloh, Tamase. com. And if you like what you hear, please consider

going back to December 2019 for Eclipse Our Sins.

So my dear listeners, I do hope you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

The thought box sits planted to the wall next to the distribution box.
