✦ Synopsis

A few years ago, I sold a humorous little SF short story to an anthology called Unidentified Funny Objects. (The rights have long since reverted to me, but if you want to snag a print copy of the anthology, I’m sure Alex Shvartsman, the editor, wouldn’t mind in the least.)

The story came up in conversations on Twitter today, and a few people expressed their interest in it, so I am reposting it here on the blog today at ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO YOU. I wrote it in the span of two days back in 2012 or so, based on nothing but the title–which was cooked up by Chuck Wendig and me in some casual Twitter banter. He dared me to write the story, I did, and it turned out pretty well. Putting it onto paper was one of those borderline magical things where you start writing the first paragraph, and then the whole story just unfurls in your head as you write it down.

Anyway, here’s CAKE WHORES OF MARS. Enjoy!
