“Someone Call Shadow Control!” reprint published in Androids & Dragons
“The exterminators wove their bags from the vodka strength of the noonday sun, killing the shadows straight off when they stuffed them in the bags. But Culver wove his bags from the strands of dawn, from when the first few beams trailed across the fields, not too bright, but just bright enough that they couldn’t slip through the stitches.”
This story was originally published in Daily Science Fiction.
