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

Welcome to the seventh story for March 2026, issue 234. I hope that you're doing as well as can be.

I want to thank you for taking the time to spend with us to visit a new world, to meet new characters.

And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting it. Whether it's a subscription, whether it's gone to patreon.com4 slash Clark's World,

whether you've checked a few bucks our way via donation.

I know times are tight and everything is so appreciated.

It's what helps us put this issue together each and every month.

So thank you.

This is all thanks to you.

Our story is titled, You Are Inv to our spring celebration by Thorea Dyer. Thorea Dyer is an Aurellis and

Ditmar Award-winning Australian writer and veterinarian. Her speculative fiction, short stories, and

novellas have appeared at Door.com, Reactor Mag,

in Clark's World Analog Fantasy Magazine, Apex, Podcastle, Cosmos, Nature, anthology,

bridging infinity, and boutique collection asymmetry.

The Rea's big-fat fantasy novels in the Titans Forest trilogy are published by Tour Books.

As a member of Sifla, represented by the Ethan Ellenberg Agency, she is an avid hiker and arbalist, inspired by wild spaces and the

unknown universe. And, if you like what you hear, you got a few stories to go back to. Lucy

loves neutrons and the good Samarium, Eight or Die Part 1 and 2, Doc Luckless

and the Station Mistress, and Generation Gap. So my dear listener, I hope that you can sit back,

relax, and let me tell you a story. I warn my child about speaking to the humans.

It kills them.

Why?
