Whoever thought that a story about school shootings was a good idea was wrong. Horrible.

Unranked.

This book had been on my wishlist for an age, so I finally gave in and ordered a copy. I am so glad that I finally did, because there is truly an amazing amount of creative world building going on in this tiny novella. People who are part glacier, the ocean held in a jar, states showing up as people, an underworld beneath Athens, Georgia.

A tiny quibble with the format of the book -- it looks like they made and ebook, then crunched it through some algorithm to make it fit to print. But then, had they only made it an ebook, I never would have read it, so thanks?… (more)

That story was amazing. I enjoyed every moment in the story. I can feel that growing urge to find everything she has written and see what I have been missing out on my whole life.

What can I say without spoiling any of it? A woman whose "base" is in our time keeps traveling back in time. Moments here, in this time, when she is "suffering a migraine" are lifetimes in another time. After awhile she starts reviewing history books looking for mentions of her or correcting mistakes in the writings. She visits museums which should have evidence of her... Why is she not there or someone else gets credit?

It has an abrupt ending which makes perfect sense but I want more, more, more!

I listened to the StarShipSofa #414 version, narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. I could listen to him read a shopping list and be pleased. This one: http://www.starshipsofa.com/blog/2015/12/09/starshipsofa-no-414-beth-cato-and-ra..... It has 2 stories in this podcast and I enjoyed the first one also. A LONESOME SPECK OF HOME by Beth Cato but Makeisha in Time starts at 57:45

I listened to the podcast version, and I was surprised to see it was re-published in an "alien" anthology. I didn't realize it was aliens chasing them or maybe they were aliens. ???

Anyways...It's not in me to decipher metaphors or understand a personified river, mountain, rock, etc... This story has a community of people that can turn into buildings, or the road. By choice or by force. They don't turn back into humans. I found it pointless.
