Episode 14 (Grendel’s Grief, Part 14)

I decided to read out chapter by chapter the first short story of my upcoming fourth anthology. This story is set in the 26th Century YM, seven or eight hundred years following the events of "Malachi’s Gambit" in my first short story anthology (Deadshepherd), and about thirteen hundred years before the events of the Final Fall of Man series.

I'm beginning to regret doing it, because it's so fucking time-consuming and the editing program is a chaotic-evil force of capricious destruction in software form.

It is tentatively entitled "Grendel's Grief." The story, that is, not the editing software.

Musical credit to Oliver St. John for the cool intro riff, which I separated out from the "2001: A Space Odyssey" theme (with apologies).
