What Do the Dying Know?: I don't know that is has so much to do with dying, more with aging, I think.

Earth Dragon, Turning: 3* Woman's mother dies, then her father and the eart dragon moves. She assumes it's her mother's resentment towards her father. She approaches the army and talks to the general, then they go offer the [bak chang] (filled with her father's meat) to the dragon, who is appeased.

Interview: Iori Kusano The interviewed author seems reserved to me. Maybe that explains why this one is shorter than other interviews I've read in Uncanny.

can i offer you a nice egg in this trying time: 3* Matt and Gary went through a portal in an apple tree a few years ago. They came back and both wanted to go back, but ignored each other. Gary works in a [dinner] and Matt goes to order eggs, starts fighting him when the eggs are wrong. He keeps going and fighting, his girlfriend is leaving him. Gary finds him under the apple tree, told him to move on.

Across the Afterverse: A Conversation with Afropunk SF/F Author Alex Smith: Good interview

A Fall Counts Anywhere: 3* A [robot] and a fairy are the announcers in a fight to the death between their kind, with thousands of humans in the stand screaming for blood. The fairy announcer throws an EMP in the ring since the weapons are provided by fans. The robots stop and the fairies turn towards the humans. Interesting idea, but it's entirely dialog between the announcers.

A Testament of Bloom: Not for me.

I Am a Little Hotel: That's a bit more "my style" of poetry, but still not long enough to bring me anything
