“Who Won the Battle of Arsia Mons?” at Clarkesworld

[mount_oregano]

My story “Who Won the Battle of Arsia Mons?” is now available for your reading pleasure at Clarkesworld Magazine.

The story is about a battle among robots inside the caldera of an extinct Martian volcano named Arsia Mons – because it is the most foolish and yet utterly logical thing I could think of that could happen involving robots on Mars.

Congratulations! Looking forward to reading it. (And I have been meaning to comment on your entry regarding prompts, too--some of those very prompts are close to things I've actually written stories about.)

Thank you!

Where can I read some of those stories? It would be fun!

Haha, well I realize now that I wrote one but only mulled over the other in my mind. The one I wrote was a flash piece about someone who lies in their diary--I think that's definitely an idea with a lot of potential! And the one I've been mulling over is close but not exactly the same as one of your prompts: a girl has insisted all her life (now late teens) that she has a brother, but no one else has ever experienced the brother. Lots of different ways to tell that one, too....
