Happy New Year!

Today marks the end of two full years of fiction at GigaNotoSaurus, and the beginning of (gods willing and the creeks don't rise) a third.

This month's story is Woman of the Sun, Woman of the Moon by Benjanun Sriduangkaew.

It is the aftermath of the world’s end, and nine birds–nine suns–lie dead while Houyi cradles the curve of her bow, her fingers locking around the taut hardness of its string. The tenth sun, the last, has fled. Chastise them, Dijun said, a father’s plea. But there is the land and the horror and the dryness, desiccated corpses in empty dust trenches that were rivers not long ago. There are dead dragons, too, and snake women with bright eyes–and is it not right to bring down the suns, is it not what Houyi is meant to do? She is a god who protects; she is a god given a duty.

Go check it out! Enjoy!
