A Corpse in the Koryo by James Church


I find that I love writers who use a lot of anthropomorphism in their writing. Here's a great example:

Small clouds nuzzled outcroppings along the hilltops, baby white puffs that looked like they had needed something solid to lean against during the night. They had overslept and been left behind. As I watched, they grew more transparent with each sunbeam that touched them. No struggle or sound of despair. They just disappeared.
