The Chiroptera on the Ceiling

I was told a story was waiting for me.So I looked at it. It spoke in a tone I don’t often hear—outside ritual. The language was casual. Modern. But the story had weight. It pulled me in. I’m not an e-book reader. I don’t aim to become one. But I promised to read it. And I did. The Chiroptera on the Ceiling works because of pacing, voice, and the feeling that something deeper moves beneath the words. It surprised me. And for that, it remains rare. One of the few modern pieces I’ve chosen to voice. Thank you, Pablo Báez, for writing something that summoned my voice. You can read the full story in the Zine where it was first published. †There is something on the ceiling .It watches still. This is a public episode.
