This was the third story I wrote at Clarion West and a bit of an ode to cyberpunk. The first draft of this story was also a rather lazy piece of writing. My second story at the workshop was horrid and utterly failed to come together, so I went easy on myself the next week. I’m grateful to Maura for getting angry about the initial result (2 pages of prose for the characters to cross the road on their way to get a coffee!) ‘Stiletto’ was the first sale I made to Greatest Uncommon Denominator.
