Articles by Dani Atkinson
Monopticon - Lightspeed Magazine
Please see our important Publisher’s Note following this month’s Editorial that has important information about a new threat to the survival of all SF/F/H magazines. I am thinking of a word. I will not tell you what it is. I will tell you a few other words. The words you were looking for, though not all the words you were hoping for. Some of the words you were hoping for, I’ll let you have. Such as these: You were right. Doesn’t that feel good? You were right all along. There was a secret.
Cast of Wonders 450: Little Wonders 28 - Metaphors & Allegories
Three monsters that are not metaphors by Dani Atkinson 1. The kelpie is not a metaphor for depression. “You’re kind of like a metaphor for depression, though,” I tell her, and she snorts angrily.

Like a Box of Chocolates
You may pick one, says the goblin chocolatier. The box is a vibrant garden of sweets neatly arranged. A sugar rose so real it seems grown, stolen from some witch bramble of candy thorns and gum drop hips. A truffle banded white and blue that smells of fresh cut grass and rain. The chocolatier grins. His mouth is a vibrant garden of teeth neatly arranged. He waves you closer. All of them enchanted, of course, he whispers in your ear. One will teach a language, though you won’t know which.
