You are listening to a Clarkshold magazine podcast.

Welcome to the fourth story for the month of March, 2025, issue 222.

Our story is titled Those Uncaring Waves and is by Yukimi Ogawa.

The story, just like all the other stories we bring you here at Clark's World,

isn't possible without your ongoing support. So if you are a

subscriber, if you've gone to patreon.com for slash Clarksworld or Clarkshould Citizens.com, or told a friend

about a story that you particularly liked or supported us in any other way. Thank you. If you haven't

yet, please consider doing so.

Your support means we can bring you these wonderful stories each and every month, all the art,

the non-fiction, the narrations, and pay people to put it all together.

Now our author, Yukimi Okawa, lives in a small town in Tokyo, where she writes in English

but never speaks the language.

She still wonders why it works that way.

In addition to Clark's role, her fiction can be found in such places such as Strange Horizons

and the magazine of fantasy and science fiction.

Her debut collection, like smoke, like light, stories, is out from mythic delirium books.

No stranger here to Clark's World, there's multiple titles that you can go back to if you like

what you hear. The portrait of a survivor observed from the water. The shroud for the mourners.

Greyer than lead, heavier than snow, ripen, and blue gray blue.

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

We are very, very disappointed.

It was her third try, and it still came out feebly.
