FAUCHER’S SPARK. [Full story after the cut.]   Hello! Welcome to GlitterShip episode 64. This is your host, Keffy, and I'm super excited to share this story with you. Today we have a piece of original fiction, "Sabuyashi Flies" by Sebastian Strange, and a poem, "how to exist in between" by Danny McLaren. Danny McLaren is a queer and non binary writer who uses they/them pronouns. They have been writing short fiction and poetry for as long as they can remember, but only entered the world of publishing this year. They are currently an undergraduate student majoring in gender studies. They often explore themes associated with mental health, gender, identity, and social justice in their work. They are an editor and co-founder of Alien Pub, an arts and culture magazine.     How to exist in between   find a crack in the floorboards where you can hide.this will be your home.don’t worry if you can’t fit now; their words will make you feel small enough to fall through the slats eventually.listen to the footsteps and laughter above,hear how they stomp around with violent intent.know they’d crush you if they knew you were here. teach yourself to be quiet enough that no one pays you any attention.it’s better to go unseen than draw the eye of someone unkind,someone with a word or two for people like you.feel their eyes on you either way,and know that the questions about your hair, your clothes, your voice, are already on their lips.walk faster, so that you’re gone before they can speak. take note of what they say when they think you can’t hear.scribble them all down in the back of your notebook,everything overheard in the back of a lecture hall,or on the bus,or to your mother,save them for a time when you will need to be reminded why you exist,why you continue to exist. ask them to call you by your name.when they don’t, hold your tongue.when they ask if you are a boy or a girl, say no.you do not owe them an answer, least of all to a question for which you have none.remember how they seem to take offence to your pronouns, as if your existence has anything to do with them.know that these people are not worth your time.know that one day you will find ones who are.     Sebastian Strange writes from Ohio but still feels like a New Englander. His fiction has been published in Mythic Delirium and Crossed Genres. Find him trying to figure out Twitter at @MonstrousMor. "Sabuyashi Flies" was narrated by Maria Rose. Maria Rose is a graphic designer, writer, astrologer, classicist. Sometimes saturnine, mostly eccentric. You can hear her audiobook narration work in “Messengers of the Right” from University of Press Audiobooks or at Gallery of Curiosities Podcast.     Sabuyashi Flies by Sebastian Strange   Sofie Faucher advertised her solution to the age-old magic problem well.
