For this Father's Day we have an extra special treat for our devoted followers and fellow readers out there who subscribe to this blog, the FREEZINE of Fantasy and Science Fiction. It's an older John Shirley story nowadays rarely stumbled across in this rapidly flowering digital age encroaching upon everyone from virtually every direction. In this moving short story about a near future where synthetic women are mass produced as sexual pets, the author looks beneath the genetically modified skin to peer deeply into our real human condition. Here's a tale about the triumph of the human spirit battling sexual objectification at its most perversely extreme. MEERGA was previously published long ago (stay tuned to the current JUNE issue to find out when and where) and has since been lost in the swallowing folds of time. The FREEZINE is proud to bring this canny tale back for our intrepid readers.
Stay tuned later today to read
