This being autumn, maybe our thoughts turn naturally to images of releasing and transforming.

The dragon was neither malign nor benign but simply vast, maybe unknowable, and champions fell and died at its base the way climbers die on forbidding mountains, and for the same reasons. Before the story began, though, I had to know my subject, and that proved hard. True, I was the one m ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Neat Sh*t Wow.
