This is Shorts: the podcast where we talk about contemporary short stories. We’re two long distanced friends who want to talk about what we’re reading. We think that short stories can contain all the richness and excitement of a novel, and can show the world through different perspectives. Before each episode, we invite you to read a story and then we’ll talk about it together.

As The Last I May Know

This week we are reading As The Last I May Know by S.L. Huang, the 2020 Hugo Award winner for Best Short Story. In this story, we are faced with a different reality - one in which the decision over whether to release weapons of mass destruction requires the President to kill a child with his own hand before they can order the devastation. Through this extraordinary short story, we are presented with a huge question: are the safeguards in place for our most heinous decisions strong enough? Or, whatever the cost, must we humanise the choices we make in order to save lives?
