In this special episode of SH@25, editor Kat Kourbeti narrates 'Little Brother™' by Bruce Holland Rogers, originally published on 30 October 2000. Hosted by producer Michael Ireland, with warm holiday wishes from the entire SH Editorial Collective.



Bruce Holland Rogers wrote and translated very short stories from the 1980s, before the term “flash fiction” had been invented, into the 2010s. In all, he produced over 300 such stories, sharing many of them by email subscription through the now-moribund web site shortshortshort.com. His fiction has been honored with two World Fantasy Awards, two Nebula Awards, a Stoker, a Pushcart Prize, and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. His collection, The Keyhole Opera, has been translated into French and Portuguese, and individual stories have been translated into over twenty languages. He has stopped writing fiction and doesn't know if he will take it up again. He spends his time trying to get more French, Spanish, and Japanese into an aging brain.
