Waterproof by Marcelina Vizcarra

You ever feel like the whole world is passing you by while you rot in that small town you the misfortune to be born in? Well, maybe it is. Wilson Fowlie narrates. 
Author Marcelina Vizcarra has moved over thirty times, most recently to Tennessee where she explores the woods and waterways with her kids, partner in crime, and their dog. Her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Nature Futures, Flash Fiction Online, Timeshift, and other speculative and literary publications.
Narrator Wilson Fowlie has been reading stories out loud since the age of 4, and credits his parents for any talent he has for it. He's been narrating for podcasts since he answered a call for readers for PodCastle in 2008.
He’s narrated dozens of stories for many podcasts, including all of the Escape Artists shows. Wilson fits all this narrating between his day job as a web developer in Vancouver, Canada, and directing a community show chorus called The Maple Leaf Singers.

The Cheshire's Grin by Irene Punti

Survivors of an apocalyptic war rebuild their world to a Roman Ideal, which includes being outnumbered by their genetically altered slaves. Wulf Moon narrates.
Content note for adult situations. 
Author Irene Punti lives in Badalona (Catalonia) with her partner. Before that, she lived for a decade in Tarragona, the former capital of a Roman province and the city which inspired this story. Irene's stories have appeared in Gaslandia: a Dieselpunk Anthology and the NonBinary Review, among others.
Narrator Wulf Moon feasted on fantasy as a child when he lived with his Chippewa grandmother. He begged stories from her every night—fireside tales that fired his imagination. If Moon had a time machine, those are the days he would go back to. Since he doesn’t have a time machine, he tells stories. Learn more at driftweave.com.
