Minor Setback, Major Sacrifices

I received word today that a story I wrote set for pub­li­ca­tion this win­ter called Cre­ation Myth had to be dropped from the mag­a­zine due to bud­get cut­backs.  With­out giv­ing any­thing away to you, the story fea­tures at least David Bowie, but pos­si­bly another other-worldly musi­cian from the future–from now?
