Drabblecast 149- So You're Going to Die by Robert Reed Drabble- Smoking Robots by Laurence Simon

The energy and personality of a person can get stuck before it evaporates from our world. Wood is a fair dumping ground. Something about its pore size and how cellulose vibrates. A person can get himself pasted inside the wall or the floorboards. The body and brain quit, but the rest of the bastard lingers, and that’s the weird quantum trickery that for thousands of years people have called a ghost...100 word story podcastRobert ReedGuild of the Cowry CatchersMusic by Norm Sherman, David Gosnell and Pete Anthony

Drabblecast 147- Cassie by Tim Pratt Drabble- Time Machine by Christopher K. Monroe

The other gamblers ignored her. They were a mixed bunch-- middle aged men in ties and shiny suits, women in evening gowns, young men with gleaming teeth and haunted expressions.

Drabblecast 146- Teddy Bears and Tea Parties by S. Boyd Taylor Drabble- Homeostasis by Phenopath

Shadows move on the mantelpiece and the end tables. She freezes. The family pictures are moving. Brass frames buckling into bow-shaped mouths. They want to eat her.Don't be scared, she says. Of course they’re hungry. Everything must eat. And there isn't much food...S. Boyd TaylorNominate this story for the Nebula Award!Episode art by Skeet ScienskiSupport Disaster Relief in Haiti

Drabblecast 143- The Golden Age of Fire Escapes Part II by John Aegard

The crowd was lined up six deep along the parade route. They ignored the Deputy Mayor who sat, lightly sedated, between his doctor and nurse in the Santa sleigh. Instead, they chanted endlessly for the Marshall, who would not leave the stifling warmth of his coach, or even roll down a window to wave. Their applause echoed off the surrounding skyscrapers. "Take off your mask!" they cried...John AegardIn Search of the Monolian Deathworm: Part VDr. SeussMegabeastsArt by Skeet Scienski and Bo KaierMusic by Bela Fleck and the Fleck Tones, Cab Calloway, Glen Miller, Andre Hossein

Drabblecast 141- On the Destruction of Copenhagen by the War Machines of the Merfolk by Peter M. Ball Drabble- The Tower by Bryan J. Jacop

We see it happen: the great machines of the merfolk coming up over the shore, rampaging through the city with devastating effect. We watch a robotic mermaid hammer her fist into an apartment block, the dust cloud from the explosion engulfing the nearby camera. It's quick, sudden, a surprise that's ruined by the later repetition of the footage... The MoviegoerPeter M. BallBrent HolmesCowry CatchersMusic by Chopin, Bartok and Schoenberg

Drabblecast 139- Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs by Leonard Richardson

"I want to buy a gun," said the Thymomenoraptor. He moved his foreclaw along the glass case of pistols, counting them off: one, two, three, four. "That one." He tapped the case; the glass squeaked."Why would a dinosaur need a gun?" asked the shop owner."Self-defense...."Cala Sith GuesthouseThe Dunesteef PodcastJ.B.

Oh, it’s been comin’. You can hear it at night when the refugee traffic quiets down. Distant crashes, muffled thuds.

You must know, Doctor, that I did not choose to seek psychiatric help. I have no faith that I shall exit this room a healed man; I know now that I have been destined for the asylum since childhood. No mere conversation with you can steer me clear of that fate. That said, let us proceed with this court-compelled farce before my mad prattle provokes your crabbiness further...Ayn SauerJohn AegardClosing Music by EskitArtwork by Bo Kaier

“Hello,” said the stick.The soldier stopped, and looked around. He did not touch the hilt of his sword, but he adjusted his stance so he could reach it quickly, if need be. But there was nothing to be seen. The moors stretched flat and empty for miles about. “Who said that?”Michael SwanwickRevsleestaxEscapepodfreemodemediaMusic by Gringo Motel
