Tor.com: Errata Novelette (with squirrel)

(Taken from Tor.com, by Jonathan Twingley.)I am writing this sitting in the waterlogged lobby of a rotting, half-finished condominium complex. I am surrounded by cavorting freshwater seals and have two pearl-handled revolvers in my lap, a bottle of vodka in my right hand, a human body in the freezer in the kitchens behind me, and a rather large displaced rockhopper penguin staring me in the face. - from "The Errata"Tor.com has just posted my novelette "Errata". I refuse to tell you what is true and what is not. In lieu of truth, I offer you instead two squirrels, one podcasting the first couple paragraphs of the story (to contrast with my own podcast on Tor's site) and the other reciting some famous tongue-twisters). Thus, you may enjoy the story and the squirrel, or hate the story and enjoy the squirrel, but in all cases still take pleasure from the experience. (If you do like the story, please do add a comment to the story thread.)Thanks to Ekaterina Sedia for Russian pronunciations, but she is only responsible for the correct ones, as I had to record part of the story before I received her email. And a huge thank you and lots of love to all of the authors who let me excerpt their Argosy stories--and especially to James Owen, and also to Patrick Nielsen Hayden and Liz Gorinsky.Now, without further ado, squirrels talking:Squirrel reading from "Errata"Squirrel reading tongue-twisters. (And a few answers to common questions.)
