Onner's Bridge
Fantasy
The bridge in Onner's Bridge crosses four feet of nothing, over a streambed dry since before her father was born, and Genna Busterson is the only person in town who has ever found that strange.
She has her first solo commission. Her name on it, nobody else's signature required. Nine days of road between her and the eastern parishes, where no Busterson chain has ever been run, and a father who is a legend in fourteen counties for a pass he opened and an ale road he made cheap, and who has not paid for a drink since before she could walk.
Then the county seat comes apart around her.
What she does next mends a wall and saves a town. It also produces no witness, no reading, and no explanation. The verse that reaches Onner's Bridge before she does gives the credit to a spirit, and the story is better that way, and everyone she loves sings it over her head.
The state, being less romantic, opens a file.
