EP Flash: Mount Dragon
By Vera Nazarian.
Read by Stephen Eley.
“Go to hell, idiot,” I said, using an astringent tongue he’d understand. “I
am but a monumental slab of granite, and you, mortality, are like one of
the droppings of a fairly large corpulent deity–an ephemeral honor I would
rather pass me by.”
“And yet, you speak to me, mountain,” said the mote of humanity. “Why is
that?”
I considered that for a moment. The creature had a point.
“I don’t know,” I replied honestly.
Rated PG. Contains some profanity. Paradigms may shift without warning.
Damn Steve. Don’t you ever have an off one? LOL. Good story and reading-thanks.
Steve,
Your reading of “Mount Dragon” totally rocks — I love it!
Thanks a million for letting me share this story in such a great, unbeatable way.

Excellent story. Kudos to the reader and author.
I’ve been going through the archives in no particular order, and this is my favorite Escape Pod so far, and my second favorite Sci Fi story ever!
