forever that includes migraines, the awful neighbor upstairs, your uncle’s bad breath, not to mention countless years in which every tiny regret and sorrow piles one on top of the other until…

I’m talking about Steven Mohan, Jr., the writer responsible for today’s story podcast, “Hot Jupiters.” It’s from Fiction River:  MoonscapesSteve’s future universe is as familiar as a sleepy Sunday morning and as unique as a hot Jupiter.
