The Glottal Stop

Nick Mamatas

First published August 2018
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Bridget became the target of vicious online (and offline) harassment by misogynists three years ago. When she finally dares to try dating, her enemies catch up with her, and things escalate to disaster. But she thinks of a way to use social media to send a positive message to others like her.

A very-near-future, barely-speculative story, recognizable as science fiction only in referring to laws which don't currently exist.
