I should note that I checked the fiction podcasts I most often listen to (#Podcastle #BeneathCeaselessSkies #UncannyMagazine) and couldn't find anything that seemed to match. My memory of the story has a very Podcastley feel, so maybe I didn't look far enough back. (I sometimes get rather behind in my listening.)

Welcome to our first week of #sffshortsclub !
Today we're reading "Witchbreaker," by #LeahNing, published in #BeneathCeaselessSkies .

“Um...” I make the mistake of glancing back at Jer, who won’t look at me anymore. “Might be a while this time, kiddo.” <
