Hats Off! to Nicole Lungerhausen whose near-future, science fiction flash story, "Urgent: Lost Bekip," was included in the Best of Abyss & Apex, Volume 3, published in December, 2019. Also, her short story "I Want You to Want Me," a whimsical, far-future science fiction tale, where there's more to a tacky piece of Old Earth tchotchke than meets the eye, appears in Electric Spec. Finally, her story "Tell Me Something Good" appears in Luna Station Quarterly. This science fiction story set in a near-future San Francisco Bay Area asks the question: if a VR drug could show you the good life, what would you want to see?
