Main Fiction: "Ormonde and Chase" by Ian Creasey

This story originally appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction (June 2014)

Ian Creasey lives in Yorkshire, England. He has published seventy-odd short stories, several of which have previously been podcasted at StarShipSofa. His last appearance in StarShipSofa was "The Odour of Sanctity" in episode 514, December 2017.

Narrated by: Matt Dovey

Matt Dovey is very tall and very English and most likely drinking a cup of tea right now. He has a scar on his arm that he can’t remember getting, but a terrible darkness floods his mind when he considers it. He now lives in a quiet market town in rural England with his wife and three children, and despite being a writer, he still hasn’t found the right words to properly express the delight and joy he finds in this wonderful arrangement.

His surname rhymes with “Dopey”, but any other similarities to the dwarf are purely coincidental. He is the Golden Pen winner for Writers of the Future Volume 32 (2016), was shortlisted for the James White Award in 2016, and has fiction out and forthcoming all over the place; you can keep up with it at mattdovey.com, or follow along on Facebook and Twitter.
