Today, we're reading The Water That Falls On You From Nowhere by John Chu, winner of the 2014 Hugo Award For Best Short Story. From Tor.com:
In the near future water falls from the sky whenever someone lies (either a mist or a torrential flood depending on the intensity of the lie). This makes life difficult for Matt as he maneuvers the marriage question with his lover and how best to “come out” to his traditional Chinese parents.
Yes, just like Episode 1, this is ALSO a very queer story, but also mostly about families, and truth and lies. It's great honestly.
