"The Isthmus Variation" is out in BCS!

My story "The Isthmus Variation" is up and free to read in Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
Elizabeth Bear, in her week at Clarion West, mentioned something about the uses of whitespace in narrative. I grabbed that and ran with it, and along the way the world of the Slow Game filled itself in around me. I am pretty sure there are more stories to be written in this world, and the way the residents of it think about art and story is fascinating. So go forth, and read!
Cleaion West Writeathon: whoomp, there it is!

So despite having to work this weekend and having a bunch of household stuff to do besides, I managed to get about 5200 words out. I have slain one chapter and another is lying on the ground bleeding. The finished chapter needs a quick edit pass and then it'll be on its way to The Usual Suspects, as well as to those who have donated. (It's not too late! Help us support Clarion West!)
Excerpt below the cut!

Clarion West Writeathon, Day Two

2k words on Word of the Chosen tonight, and I think I'm done for the night.
I am strongly suspecting that there aren't 50k more words yet to go in this book. I'd rather forgotten that I'd intended this one to come in at about 70k, and chapters 1-6 have about 32.5k or so already. We'll see; I may get inspired and add a subplot.
Excerpt from tonight is below!
