We kick off May with a new, free-to-read, Sarah Gailey story, set in a world where awards have a powerfully lasting effect. ~ Julian and Fran, May 7, 2023 Such an Honor by Sarah Gailey The Ganymede Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Composition was warm in Leonard’s hand, not that he could feel it. Maybe if it had been piping hot or freezing cold, the sensation would have made it through the calloused landscape of his palm—but it was only as warm as the dozens of hands it had passed through over the course of the evening. It felt like nothing. Everyone wanted to touch the damn thing so they could say they’d touched it, so that later, in some way, they could convince themselves that they’d touched him.
An incredibly, fantastic story. Thank you.
We think so too!
Wow, how beautifully unnerving.
those are exactly the words
Wow!
This is incredible. Very taut, very precise, and actually gut-wrenching.
I love the way in which the world behind the story gradually makes itself clearer and clearer. And am very glad I’m not a musician in that world!
