Can and Should

by Christopher T. Garry (Editor), George P. Burdick

Black Denim Lit is a monthly journal of fiction available on the web and on all eReaders for free through BlackDenimLit.com. This month Christopher T. Garry brings together 9 pages of bold, intriguing new fiction from George Burdick, expanding significantly on his work with a story of desperation a species under the terrible weight of terraforming.

“The author really challenges the reader,” Garry said. “It’s been a joy to work with Burdick to bring this premiere edition together. I couldn't be more pleased by his blunt point of view.”

With "Can and Should," Burdick shines light on a species that seems uniquely positioned to unbalance the very way evolution is thought to work.

9 pages, Kindle Edition

Born in Illinois he lives outside Seattle with family and pets. If he were born at another age perhaps he would stare blankly at the sunset as he wipes mastodon blood from his chin, tossing the bone aside. This is a little difficult in rush hour traffic nowadays.

There is only a single story in this 1st issue of the magazine. Very short. I found it interesting, but you might as well read it instead of me spoiling it for you.
