The Obscurists by M. Luke McDonell.  Narrated by J.S. Arquin.  Featuring an afterword recorded by M. Luke McDonell. Sierra stepped through, shifting latitude and longitude from San Diego, California to Wheeling, West Virginia.  For her, the passage felt like expecting one more tread on a staircase, discovering it wasn't there, and stepping down too hard and abruptly. The scent of salt air and coconut sunscreen was replaced by stale sweat, burnt popcorn, and disinfectant.  M. Luke McDonell's five-minutes-into-the-future fiction explores the effects of emerging technology on individuals and society.  Her work has appeared in publications including Shoreline of Infinity (winner if the British Fantasy Society Award 2018 for best magazine/periodical), The Overcast, The Arcanist, Perihelion, New Reader Magazine, and more.  By day, she is a senior designer at a San Francisco software security company and by night she writes and helps run SomaFM.  Follow her on Twitter @Mlukemc and learn more at https://mlukemcdonell.wordpress.com  Please help support The Overcast.  Become a Patron Today!

At First Sight by M. Luke McDonell.  Narrated by J.S. Arquin.  Featuring an afterword by M. Luke McDonell.  #SciFi #podcast #fiction #augmentedreality #dating   "Adeline was sure she'd finally perfected the "First Date" setting on her glasses.  +7 Brightness to counteract the dim lighting in bars, -4 Contrast or else faces became cartoony, and +2 Smoothing.  She didn't want her dates to look waxy, however, a little forgiveness went a long way and she didn't want to write off a nice, funny guy because of acne scars.   She wasn't sure what setting to use now though, because she wasn't sure this was a first date."    San Francisco-based M. Luke McDonell is a visual designer by day, and a writer by night.  Her five-minutes-into-the-future studies explore the effects of emerging technologies on human relations.  When not writing or hiking San Francisco's many hills, Merin helps run SomaFM, a commercial-free, listener-supported internet radio station, and produces podcasts for SF in SF, a monthly event featuring science fiction and fantasy authors reading and discussing their work.  You can find her short stories in "Shoreline of Infinity" and "Perihelion."  Catch up to her online at www.mlukemcdonell.com   Please help support The Overcast.  Become a Patron Today!
