I decided to read out chapter by chapter the first short story of my upcoming fourth anthology. This story is set in the 26th Century YM, seven or eight hundred years following the events of "Malachi’s Gambit" in my first short story anthology (Deadshepherd), and about thirteen hundred years before the events of the Final Fall of Man series.

It is tentatively entitled "Grendel's Grief."

Musical credit to Oliver St. John for the cool intro riff, which I separated out from the "2001: A Space Odyssey" theme (with apologies).

Other stuff provided by Anchor by Spotify. I know it's still a bit rough, and it's short. It's my first podcast.
