Free Fiction Monday: ProtectVision
Sixteen-year-old Sharyn just wants to have fun. But her overprotective father wants to control her life. He uses the latest technology, ProtectVision, to make sure she follows his rules. But technology comes with a price—one she, her father, and even innocent bystanders might have to pay. Chosen as one of the top ten stories of 2004 by Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, “ProtectVision” demonstrates the lengths parents go to protect their children—and the sometimes devastating consequences of succeeding.
“ProtectVision” by Edgar Award nominee Kristine Kathryn Rusch will be free on this site for one week only. The story’s available for $2.99 from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, Omnilit and in other ebookstores.

I always look forward to Mondays – your stories are just fantastic. I end up wide-eyed, nose close to the screen, in a different world while I’m reading them. Thank you for giving them away each week! Sara
You’re welcome, Sara. You just caught this one. I’m putting up the new one now. 🙂
Excellent: an ending that’s unexpected but inevitable. Sharyn’s conception, I mean. I also liked the extrapolation of technology, logical but intimate rather than world-busting. All in service of characters and conflict we care about. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go out to the car and get my inhaler…
Thank you, Dave. 🙂
Thanks for another great free story on here. I love that you mix genres and get markets to buy the stories! I guess its time to send a tip… Been a while…
Thanks, Pete. I’m always surprised at who buys what. I didn’t think a mystery mag would buy this, but I tried there first and voila! Thank you for the tip as well. 🙂
