I had a little time before my next book was available at the library, so pulled up a random story on Free SF Online. Try that sometime, it's like Every Flavor Beans in Harry Potter. And I take credit for giving the webmaster the idea.
What I got was Henry (no way I'm typing that again). It's a serialized story on Daily SF, and is quite a fun read--you never quite know what is going on. Henry is a white man on an island of pygmies, quickly forgetting how he came to be there. To what extent is what is happening to him real? Emotions and impressions are the stars here, and they carry the story well. I spent an enjoyable hour reading it, and you would like it too. 3 stars.
