Bernie: Hello again, Reckoning Press Podcast! I'm Bernie Jean Schiebeling, the reader for this episode, with Aaron Kling as producer. Today we're sharing C.G. Aubrey's "A Predatory Transience" from Reckoning 7. What I admire most about this piece is its grounding in a present moment. The rich imagery that C.G. brings to the landscapes of the South Carolina salt marshes as well as the embodiment of her narrator. This story asks us to consider the ways we change the world as we move through it, the way the world changes us, and what form we want those changes to take. In an interview with E.C. Barrett for Reckoning, C.G. had this to say: "Even just going out and picking up trash when you kayak, like my main character does, makes an immediate, quantifiable impact. We'll be so much better off if individuals feel like they can make a difference."

Enjoy your time in the salt marsh, everyone! Take only pictures, leave only footprints, and pick up any trash you find along the way.
