***From the Lost Diary of TreeFrog7 by Nnedi Okorafor***
Two explorers search the jungle for what they call a CPU plant. A centuries old plant that, as legend has it, connects to networks from worlds beyond and has stored an unimaginable amount of information.
As soon as they find it they want to download its hard drive, and in the meantime they compile a Jungle Field Guide. They document their search via audio files through which the reader learns about their expedition and also that they are stalked by a mysterious creature.
A very atmospheric short story.
It can be read for free using this link. And more importantly, you can also listen to it, using the same link. And that’s clearly what I recommend. The narration by Kate Baker is pretty good. And since the story is told via audio files anyway, it really adds a lot to the overall experience.
