This year my wife ordered me The Short Story Advent Calendar. This is my seventh time reading the Calendar–it’s a holiday tradition! Here’s what H&O says about the calendar this year.
Ten years of stories! Yikes, where does the time go?

The author of this story was Damian Tarnopolsky. Each day has an online component with the author with a brief (or in this case lengthy) interview. This blurb starts things off:

This story has an unusual title to be sure. It’s even more unusual because Chris Cornell doesn’t really have anything to do with the bulk of the story.
