Craziness and the Buds of Spring…
Spring is in the air, My Lovely Readers, and the trees are budding. February is almost gone, yet we’ve already seen an accepted poem, two new accepted stories, and more to come. The bees are beginning to buzz, and I am buzzing right along with them. This month has seen some classic Sci-Fi, a solid horror story, and some future dystopian satire. More of genre fiction, I say. Let the editors weep and tear their thinning hair. I care not! Stay tuned to the MEF blog for all the latest. What’s New In Marco’s World is here:

U6 Stories – Vienna Underground Tales
Every train carries a story.
The U6 is one line of the Vienna underground transit system. The silver and red trains carry stories, many stories. A woman mourns her musical lover, and a man discovers his courage. A Syrian family flees to a fragile new beginning, and a young man helps circus performers during a pandemic. Lovers rediscover each other after decades apart, and a man finds a father he never knew. A contract is broken, and neighbors defend their own. Eighteen tales of love lost and found, of the darkness within us, and the glimmering light that keeps us afloat. Unforgettable characters struggle against the pressures of an impersonal world, and against the burdens they carry within. Welcome, Reader, to the stories of the U6.
