Sing the Crumbling City

In a city that is, spacetime fissures gape like ravenous grendels in the landscape. In a city that might have been, a traumatized girl can close the mouths of these monsters before they ever open, if only she will sing. Between them, a trio of musicians play as if all life, everywhere, depends upon the song. And it does. "Sing the Crumbling City" was the featured story for the month of April 2015 in Mythic Delirium.
