The Night Before

The Night Before

by SI CLARKE

Lem and her dog, Spock, have a late-night encounter with a stowaway.

’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Teapot…

Not a creature was stirring, not even a lonely robot;

The stockings were hung in the mess hall with care

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

About the Author

SI CLARKE is a Canadian misanthrope who lives in Deptford, sarf ees London. She shares her home with her partner and an assortment of waifs and strays. When not writing convoluted, inefficient stories, she spends her time telling financial services firms to behave more efficiently. When not doing either of those things, she can be found in the pub or shouting at people online – occasionally practising efficiency by doing both at once.

As someone who’s neurodivergent, an immigrant, and the proud owner of an invisible disability, she strives to present a diverse array of characters in her stories.
