Star Ship SofaStarShipSofa and the BSFA are back for Day Two in their week long run of releasing narrated versions of the Best Short Story Nominees for 2007.

Today is the turn of Ken MacLeod with his story Lighting Out. This story first appeared in the anthology disLocations.

Mother had got into the walls again. Constance Mukgatle kept an eye on her while scrabbling at the back of her desk drawer for the Norton. Her fingers closed around the grip and the trigger. She withdrew the piece slowly, nudging the drawer farther open with the heel of her hand. Then she whipped out the bell-muzzled device and levelled it at the face that had sketched itself in ripples in the paint of her study.

Narrated by Diane Severson Mori
