SHORT FICTION: “Tomorrow and Tomorrow” for free at Apex Magazine

Apex is now offering the full content of Issue 20 FREE on their website.  This is pretty nifty.  Here’s a teaser of my story “Tomorrow and Tomorrow.”

The moment Tuyet walked into the Dagenais’s compartment, she knew something was different. The usual pack of dogs swarmed around her, distracting her, before she figured out that the compartment smelled different. Not bad–not like the times they had left everything piled in the sink for her as if they were having a contest to see who could goad the other into doing the dishes. Nor the time they’d fired the dog walker and didn’t bother to walk the hoard of dogs that Hélène kept. But they paid her to come once a week to wipe their counters, load the dishwasher and tidy the compartment. So she’d kept her head down, asked herself what Kant would have done, then said screw the philosophy and wiped up the dog shit and urine.

Kant would not have done that.

The rest of “Tomorrow and Tomorrow”  is at Apex Magazine.   If you enjoy what you read, do consider supporting it by purchasing the issue so Apex can continue buying fiction from authors at pro rates.
