20 years, 1000 issues. For 15 of those 20 years I've been a member of the Bewildering Stories Editorial Review Board. To celebrate issue 1000, our Managing Editor, Don Webb, invited Review Editors, both past and present, to contribute one of their favorite pieces from previous issues to the special issue 1000. Here's Don's announcement:

"This is Bewildering Stories’ one-thousandth official issue (regular issues plus the Quarterly and Annual reviews). The current and some former Review Editors are celebrating by holding a nostalgic “Classic Reissues” party, where they recall their favorites from their own works. It’s a “thank you” for our editors’ invaluable support to the Bewildering community, be they new or veterans of many years.
We resume regular publication with issue 922 next week."

My contribution, "Nemo and Kafka in Peredia" is a darkly humorous short story about a future dystopia that uses a contest to solve its problem of providing healthcare and pensions for seniors. "Nemo and Kafka the Cat will sell out, for a price. And Peredia has ways of driving the price down — very low."

Enjoy!
