“Most of my childhood happened in the American South. Something that I really noticed in the rural communities was this idea that authoritarian violence is a sort of act of love. You see it in their conception of god, and you see it emulated in how people raise their children.

This is what I was thinking about when I wrote this story: this equation of violence to love, god to parent, in the backdrop of an alien invasion.”

First Place: Heart of Gold by Lauren Ring narrated by Alexis Goble

At last!  I’m so happy that these stories have been recorded and posted.  They’re just as good in audio format, if not better!  Congratulations again to all the winners!

(And I still think “In The End, We Will All Be Loved” is brilliant.  It was great to hear the backstory.)
