Reading 2025 fiction?

Try the short story "The Flaming Embusen" by Tade Thompson @tadethompson.bsky.social!

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The names of the contributors, as well as “Uncanny January/February Issue 62,” are atop the image in white letters. The quote reads: "Up to this moment it could not positively have been asserted that the man, in spite of his tantalizing declaration, was really in earnest. The spectators had, indeed, taken the proceedings throughout as a piece of mirthful irony carried to extremes; and had assumed that, being out of work, he was, as a consequence, out of temper with the world, and society, and his nearest kin."

Sujet F3 sur un refus d'obtempérer. Un syndicaliste policier explique que l'augmentation de ces délits est due, surprise !, au laxisme de la justice : les délinquants se disent "C'est pas grave si je suis pris, je serai remis en liberté..."

Dans un sujet sur ceux qui fuient.

Pour ne pas être pris.

So this morning I get an urgent email for a same day cardiology appointment at my local treatment centre.

I was surprised (and alarmed) but fine. I moved things around and went there a few minutes ago.

Only there was no real appointment. The receptionist said I wasn't supposed to receive any 1/

check out this absolutely terrifying ancient babylonian lullaby
12:01 ÷73 + r/AskAnthropology •• What is the oldest lullaby or nursery rhyme that... 11 upvotes • 1 comment As far as the earliest we know of, it's another Babylonian tablet, about 4000 years old and most often known as Little Baby in the Dark House. We don't have the music for it, but again, the BBC article has a good go at describing some commonalities of the music that tends to accompany lullabies, so that might inspire you. The rough translation for that Babylonian lullaby, by the way, is: Little Baby in the dark house You have seen the sun rise Why are you crying? Why are you screaming? You have disturbed the house god. 'Who has disturbed me?' says the house god. 'It is the baby who has disturbed you! 'Who scared me?' says the house god. 'The baby has disturbed you, the baby has scared you, making noises like a drunkard who cannot sit still on his stool. He has disturbed your sleep! 'Call the baby now, says the house god. • 4 Reply A & Vote & Join the conversation

Il aurait besoin d'un coup de peinture, le commissariat.
Dans une zone industrielle, un bâtiment vieillissant, en tôle blanche et en verre, porte une enseigne en capitales orange : "Les Poulets Bastiais".

Au bord du Vieux Port de Bastia, une femme en chemisier blanc, de dos, est assise sur un banc en béton, la tête tournée vers la droite. À l'arrière du banc, l'inscription "Bastia Solu" à la bombe de peinture noire.

Je finirai peut-être par avoir quelque chose d'intéressant à dire. En attendant, je pose ça là, par pure anxiété face au vide.
