PseudoPod 353: FLASH ON THE BORDERLANDS XVII: Keeping Up Appearances is a PseudoPod original.
Things are not always as they seem…
Help Gail Carriger get CRUDRAT up and running by checking out: CRUDRAT!
Interstitial music is “Fearless Bleeder” by Chimpy, from Music Alley.
“Down By The Sea Near The Great Big Rock” first appeared in MASQUES (1984).
“The Demon Fields” has been performed in San Diego, and can be found at Gchatus, but Pseudopod is its first published appearance.
A shorter version of “Pawn” was a Semifinalist in the 2010 Escape Pod flash contest, where it was titled “Queen.”
“Down By The Sea Near The Great Big Rock” by Joe R. Lansdale
Down by the sea near the great big rock, they made their camp and toasted marshmallows over a small, fine fire. The night was pleasantly chill and the sea spray cold. Laughing, talking, eating the gooey marshmallows, they had one swell time; just them, the sand, the sea and the sky, and the great big rock.
“The Demon Fields” by Keith McCleary
One day, one of the farmhands mustered the courage to ask him what the barn was all about. Ben squinted at the structure in the distance, picked a reed to chew on and crossed his burly arms across his barrel chest. ‘Well boys,’ he said. ‘That barn’s gonna hold my demons. Ev’ry man’s got ’em. Gotta get ‘em stored away if I ever want to share this farm with someone. Can’t have ‘em runnin’ loose, now can I?’ and he smiled.
“Pawn” by Jaki Idler
The pain of pushing the larva through the very flesh of my transgression should be punishment enough. But mating was the Queen’s privilege, not the bait’s, and she’d ensure I’d rather die than overstep again. She called the lair witness, lest my lesson bear repeating. I squatted and bore down, slave to more primeval powers. My lair sisters ringed the cavern, tall and smug, every stiff spine saying they knew better. I’d known better.
