read by

It’s time for the Reckoning Press podcast. I’m Aaron Kling, Reckoning’s new audio editor, once again reading and producing for today’s story. Hello, everyone. Today, we have Jeff Hewitt’s “Where the Water Came From”, as featured in Reckoning 8. This is a story about distance. From culture, from family, from labor. A man is forced from a stricken earth to colonize a world man has only ever viewed from a telescope. Our protagonist is lost to his loved ones by light years, forced to make a family out among the stars. Ain’t capitalism grand?
