Podcast Episode 44: We Will Not Dream of Corals

Subscribe via RSS, Google Podcasts, Android, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Apple or Amazon. Aaron: We're here again with the Reckoning Press Podcast. I'm Aaron Kling, audio editor for Reckoning, bringing you a story written by Mario Coelho, and read by Reckoning's Bernie Jean Schibeling. "We Will Not Dream of Corals" is, at its core, revenge by way of a wish. Coral, a creature which has carried the brunt of climate change for decades, adapts a lifestyle that enables it to work symbiotically with humans and directly target infrastructure perpetuating its destruction. For our reader, Bernie Jean Schiebeling, the central wish of the story is summed up in the lines, "You could have had a good life. [...] You could have had time, so much time, to do what you love[....]" Corals, after all, are builders, and in his direct addresses to readers, Coelho asks what future we want to build. Enjoy the read, everybody! "We Will Not Dream of Corals" by Mário Coelho
