May 2016 Short Fiction Recs

Things have been busy and I haven't read as much short fiction this month as I would have liked to. (Some of you may be sensing a theme with these introductions). Anyways here are few things that I did read and like.

"The Cedar Grid" by Sara Saab (content note:violent death) Grief, family and morning are important themes in this beautiful story.

"Foxfire, Foxfire" by Yoon Ha Lee (content note: quite a bit of violent death here too.) I'm quite found of shape changing foxes

I think this may just not be a year for cheerful stories. What short fiction have you been reading recently?
