New Story "King of Beasts" at Perpetual Motion Machine

I know some writers will tell you that ALL the stories they write are their favorites, but I can tell you that's not true for me.  I always like some stories better than others - sometimes because of the theme, sometimes because of the characters, and sometimes because everything comes together beautifully and completely and I sit back and say, "S**t, I wrote that?"  So I am really, really pleased to say that one of my favorites was published today in Perpetual Motion Machine's newsletter.  This is a story that I sat down to write and it felt like the story was writing itself with no help from me.  So I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  Read it here for free.
