“Mirabilis” by Shannon Peavey.
Read by Jen R. Albert.
A PodCastle original!
No one’s really seen a girl turn to glass. It’s one of those things journalists make up when they’re bored, like the knockout game or the Russian heroin that rots your skin.

Meanwhile, Zola eats none of her peas.

Read by Graeme Dunlop.
First appeared in Flash Fiction Online.
