Watershed by Allison Jamieson-Lucy. I love the natural world details in this story, and the way strangeness sneaks in a little at a time. Most of all I love how it centers on kindness of one person for another.

via [personal profile] rushthatspeaks. The rest of the stories in their list were all too violent for my tastes.

A cluster of kind stories, list by Rose Lemberg.

Links from Rose's post:
(1) Amal El-Mohtar, "Pockets" in Uncanny Magazine.

(2) Sara Norja, "The City Beneath the Sea," in "An Alphabet of Embers".

(3) Charles Payseur, "A Lumberjack Guide to Dryad Spotting" in Flash Fiction Online.

(4) Darcie Little Badger, "Owl vs Neighborhood Watch" (Strange Horizons).

Amal El-Mohtar recommended a poem - "Questions to Ask Yourself before Giving Up" .

Sara Norja recommended "Rab the Giant versus the Witch of the Waterfall" by Brian M. Milton (Fireside).

Charles Payseur broke the rules a bit and recommended TWO stories, "Black, Their Regalia" by Darcie Little Badger (Fantasy Magazine) and Bogi Takács' "Forestspirit, Forestspirit" (Clarkesworld).

Darcie Little Badger recommended stories by Claudie Arsenault in Solarpunk Press, such as "The Daisy Haunt."

Bogi Takács recommended "Emily Breakfast" by Nalo Hopkinson (from her collection "Falling in Love with Hominids").

Oh thanks so much. Kindness needs all the marketing it can get.
