PodCastle Miniature 76: Quiet Death Machines
Quiet Death Machines
by Gillian Daniels
The evil boy genius lives in a lighthouse with his handsome older brothers. They are loud and aggressively kind. He is neither. Instead, the evil boy genius wants to very softly destroy the world with quiet death machines. He edges knives in cork and skewers stuffed bears on meat hooks.
