Wow. So, while I work, I often listen to podcasts, as a way to fill the silence. One of the podcasts I listen to is called Escape Pod. It's a podcast of short science fiction stories read aloud. This most recent story...I don't even...just...wow...

The story was about a genetically engineered hyper intelligent tyrannosaurus rex who gets stranded on an alien world by a teleport net malfunction, and has to hike through an alien jungle full of predators bigger then she is, accompanied by a nanoswarm janitor and an artificially intelligent talking flechette gun who sounds like a cowboy, on a quest to find a hyper-dimensional thingamajig so she can "rejigger" it. For reals. I can't make this shit up, although someone else somehow managed to.

Give a listen if you want to:
