"Molla and Manuela" included in Of Gods and Globes II

short fiction by F.C. Shultz

Included in this anthology is F.C. Shultz’s short story “Molla and Manuela”

In the spirit of drawing on themes of myth and classic literature and of the tidal influence of the constellations, I rounded up sci-fi and fantasy writers to write about cosmic influence. The fantasy writers took a more mythological approach, speaking of the symbolic (or perhaps godly) Mercury and Mars and Neptune. The sci-fi writers tell you what it’s like to live on Jupiter and Uranus.

All of them, though, speak of the influence of what one writer called “the music of the spheres.” These are stories Of Gods and Globes. They’re quite the ride: I enjoy each of these stories differently. They made me laugh and cry and chilled me to the bone with terror and one of them made me long for a home that… well for a home I don’t think I’ve ever been to before.
