Burning Glass is a short fiction project written and read by Baltimore native Sean Hamilton. The goal is to deliver easily consumable, fictional vignettes to take your mind off of the disaster that is the modern world. Hopefully, it serves its purpose.
Vignettes that never quite made it into a proper season for one reason or another. Enjoy these more casual episodes, with backstory on the pieces and what inspired them.
