Michael Swanwick writes a story about autumn on fallen leaves

All-round awesome dude and brilliant science fiction writer Michael Swanwick sez, "I wrote October Leaves last fall, a word at a time, on autumn leaves. I photographed the leaves where I found them -- in parks and cemeteries and city streets -- and then left them where they lay, possibly to be found by puzzled passers-by. To indicate paragraph breaks, I used photos of gravestones from historic Laurel Hill Cemetery . The story is also available as a Blurb Book. But it can be read in its entirety for free on Flickr. "
October Leaves (Thanks, Michael!)
