Your childhood will take an odd turn if you're born in the afterlife because your mom took poison, as we learn in Gordon Brown's story "Birthmarks".
Birthmarks - Small Wonders
Mama drank poison on a black, moonless night. She had forgot to turn the stove off before she died, and the kitchen curtains had caught on fire.

The narrator of "Katya's Microscope," by Monica Joyce Evans, has a friend with a dog, a microscope, and a deep interest in blood.
Katya’s Microscope - Small Wonders
Katya only uses her microscope to look at things that scare her, which I think is really smart. Her favorite is an OMAX MD-82 with oil immersion and a digital camera.

"Mild Fish and Linen" by Veronica Mullin now free to read online!

"The name they had for him, or what passed for one, was a low tut and a breath through the nose, followed by a little rasp. It meant, as near as he could translate, 'Mild Fish and Linen.'"
