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.

"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.'"

#PC911: Mycelium by Beth Goder, read by Tatiana Grey. Originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Rated PG. I only travel to the golden head when the dragonflies are in season. It’s Piack and me this year, rafting up the river past the lilies and arched trees. While I steer us through the river’s gentle snarls, he sings about lost keys to pass the time — he’s always had a thing about lost keys and the doors they’ll never open, the places we’ll never find. “Are you going to eat what the head gives you?” asks Piack. He’s one year older than I am — nineteen. With the sun behind him, his form swims in light. The dragonflies buzz around us, brush their wings against our faces.

Stepping away from our "short fiction always!" mantra to remember Dame Jane Goodall, who was an inspiration to us when we were younger and considering a career in science. What an amazing individual, and a dedicated advocate for wildlife.

Thanks for sharing your life with us, Dr. Goodall.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

Otherside is on a roll, and we hope you can keep them moving forward. It's a relief to launch with enough funding so the editors can breath easier for the first few years, so show them your love via monetary donations (and maybe pick up a subscription and/or other rewards as well).
