I don’t normally mention individual stories that I come across, but one of my favourite authors, Jason Nahrung<\/a>, has a story in the latest edition of the Cosmos<\/em> magazine (June\/July 2014). The story is called Watermarks<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cosmos<\/em><\/a> is an Australian popular science magazine, where local speculative fiction luminary Cat Sparks edits the fiction. She usually chooses stories that are related to science in some way, and has a very discerning eye (so discerning that I wouldn’t even dare submit any of my work!). But that eye for quality means that you can always be guaranteed a good read with whatever short story she chooses.<\/p>\n

And so it is the case with Watermarks<\/em>, which\u00a0represents a vignette of life in a future, drowned Brisbane. It is a story of unrequited love, of the slow erosion of society when faced with unparalleled but sedate disaster and of the importance of sunblock. I enjoyed it very much, and recommend picking up a copy of Cosmos<\/em> at your local newsagent and giving it a read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
