Lorna
by Alasdair Stuart
She leaned closer to him, conspiratorially. Somewhere at the back of his mind, he noticed her breath didn’t smell of alcohol. “You know how most people have a job?”
“Yeah?”
“I have a calling.”
He looked at her, his face carefully neutral. “And that is?”
“I’m what Guardian Angels dream of being. I protect one person from harm for their entire life, until their time has come.”
Psycho. Make your excuses. “I think I should be going.”

About the Narrator
Serah Eley
Serah Eley is the original producer, editor and host of Escape Pod. She mispronounced her name as Steve Eley at the time, but has since realized that life is much more fun as a woman, and came out as transgender in 2015. Serah lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her two spouses (she prefers “spice”), Sadi and Cat.
So if there were ever any betting pools on what happened to Steve: the dark-horse winner is “changed sex and joined a committed lesbian love triangle.” She is, obviously, still Having Fun.
