SEAL Book Club #11
We're back at Tor.com
So, the wordcount is a little higher this time, because I was looking at the stories and after adding the first two I noticed they were the third and second place winners of the LeVar Burton Reads writing contest, so I figured it would make the most sense if we just did the top three of that contest. Plus we have a little more time.
Plus as a bonus I noticed there were a few comics on Tor.com too, so I added one of those, lets say it's optional, well it's all optional, really.
So discussion isn't this weekend, but the next, so Saturday 5th of May.
Short Stories (15 459 words total):

Link: https://www.tor.com/2022/02/22/girl-oil-grace-p-fong/
Introduction: The second place winner...
Chelle’s friend, Wenqian, has everything Chelle doesn’t. A slim figure, pale skin, and most notably the affection of her longtime friend Preston. Like the ocean waves she calls home, Chelle feels transparent and overflowing all at once. So when she’s given body oil that promises to fix all of her mistakes, she’ll use as much as it takes to reach perfection; no matter how much it hurts.

Introduction: The first place winner...
A runaway and indentured thief, Eri must provide a new secret to open each new lock, at the cost of her own memory. Hundreds of locks later, Eri can barely recall her own past. An unanticipated alliance with a musician may prove the key to both their freedoms—if Eri doesn’t lose herself in the process.

Ok, I'm going to post new stories tomorrow of the weekend after this one and I'll make sure I actually read it and try to be the first to post something about it and I'll do a better job at starting the discussion with maybe some questions or something if needed.
