“Though Worlds Divide Us” now up on AMAZING STORIES’ main page

As promised, “Though Worlds Divide Us,” my flash fiction debut story in Amazing Stories, which premiered on the magazine’s Patreon site last week, is now available for free on the main Amazing Stories site:

Though Worlds Divide Us by Christopher L. Bennett – FREE STORY

The link includes both the print version of the story and an audio version read by a text-to-speech program (which mispronounces the main character’s Yoruba surname, saying “ah-yo-deal” instead of “ah-yo-deh-leh”).

I should have some story notes up soon on my Original Short Fiction page, though there isn’t enough material in this very short story to warrant a separate spoiler annotation page.

I should mention that this week’s Amazing Stories Patreon story, entitled “The Age of Existential Machines,” was incorrectly credited to me when it was published at 4 AM this morning. Fortunately I’m an early riser these days, so I was able to alert the editor less than two hours afterward, and hopefully the correct author will be credited as soon as possible. EDIT: This is fixed now.
