PodCastle #33, The Girl With the Sun In Her Head by Jeremiah Tolbert is up with an introduction by me. I very much enjoyed this story and think that you’ll enjoy listening to it.
Emelia’s home is in a city where only children are allowed to draw graffiti on the crumbling walls. The old bricks and stones are covered in crude pictographs and stick figures, smoking chimney houses and bicycles with four wheels and two seats. Chalk is a penny a piece, any color to be had. A little old lady with gnarled fingers and crooked eyes sells the sticks out of cigar boxes on street corners, even in the rain.
Thank you for the lovely introduction, Mary.
Well, it’s a lovely story.
