The first time I encountered this story was right when it was published. A friend of mine had warned me that it was intense, so when the podcast intro started, I pushed back from my bench to really listen.
It starts out so charming, and it ends so heartbreakingly; I did not go back to the bench for a while. I can't cry and work at the same time. Some people can. I cannot.
I went to find it again today, for reasons of current events.
I cried again.

If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love sounds like something you might say to your lover when it's 2 am and you're feeling whimsical or half sleepy (I tend to spew the soppiest shit when I'm half asleep) or high/drunk.

It was sweet and emotive but I can see what the bashingapalooza was all about and while the story is lovely, it doesn't have a sci-fi element. Oh, well.

Redefines the notion of 'speculative fiction' as 'heroic hypothetical'. I wish there was more story to it, and if we're being honest it's probably not 5 stars but I believe in affirmative action.
