Title: Playing the Cloud Flute
Author: Therese Arkenberg
Publication Date: July 1, 2009
Publisher: Strange, Weird, and Wonderful Magazine
Format: ezine, free .pdf download
Logline: “You have been selected for a sacrifice,” Huatl chirped.
. Chimen nodded. He knew capture would most likely lead to death by sacrifice, so
it wasn’t exactly an unpleasant surprise. He didn’t relish the thought of dying,
but as a sacrifice he was destined for some god’s heaven and, from the look of
things, would have considerable luxury for the rest of his time on earth as well.
. “Who to?” he asked, because it would be interesting to know.
. “It’s very important,” Huatl said. “You’re chosen for the storm god.”
. “Kurakol? But isn’t he the enemy of Ixtacuital?”

When the light first appeared amid the barren rocks between the treeline and the snow, it was a disconcerting mystery.

Logline: They had to drown this planet. Drown it or die. They needed more oxygen, and for that they needed plants, Earth plants. And Earth’s plants needed water.

As the desert planet of Diana is terraformed to support an increasing number of settlers--refugees from a devastated Earth--Sharon can only watch as her world, and the woman she loves, fall apart.

“It blew over hours ago.”
“It must have really caught him.”
