I’m delighted to announce that Cosmos has posted my story “For Solo Cello, op. 12” live and free on their website. This originally appeared in Issue 13 of COSMOS back in March 2007.
His keys dropped, rattling on the parquet floor. Julius stared at them, unwilling to look at the bandaged stump where two weeks ago his left hand had been. He should be used to it by now. He should not still be trying to pass things from his right hand to his left. But it still felt as if his hand were there.
FYI, putting quotation marks in the subject line of blog posts will break LJ when the post is ported over.
Thanks. Stupid LJ. I’ve fixed it now.
Excellent, chilling story. Yay!
This is by far the best sample of your work that I’ve read.
Oh yay – I loooooove this one.
Sorry about lunch today, bless your heart.
Very nice piece. Haunting. I love the phantom hand imagery, that really makes the story, particularly at the end.
