Ok, it's past midnight GMT so here are the stories for this week.
This session is going to feature stories from tor.com, they don't work in issues so I picked a few of the last posted stories to add up to roughly 10.000 words.
The stories are the following:
Short Stories (10.915 words total):
1. A Better Way of Saying by Sarah Pinkster
Content Note: N/A
Wordcount: 6140

Introduction: The year is 1915, and a young man hired to shout the words on title cards for silent films experiences the magic of movies. This spurs him to edit some of the worst dialog, leading him in a weird direction that utterly changes his life.
2. The Station of the Twelfth by Chaz Brenchley

Wordcount: 2841
Link: https://www.tor.com/2021/09/08/the-stat ... brenchley/
Introduction: In this Martian city, each stop along the monorail has a purpose behind its namesake. However, none are quite like the Station of the Twelfth, and if you decide to visit, you’ll be sure to learn why.
3. The Wonderful Stag, or The Courtship of Red Elsie

Wordcount: 1934
