„Mamaborg’s Milk and the Brilliance of Gems“ is forthcoming in Clarkesworld!
Just in case you are following this author… I am struggling to pin down, what I have read already. One story that I did find was this:
Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 147
by Neil Clarke
Marshmallows by D.A. XIAOLIN SPIRES, 3430 words, ★★★☆☆
A world that has gotten so gruesome and dilapidated that people on their daily commute use visual and auditory enhancements to see a more appealing world. I did not like the storytelling much per se, but the idea was interesting enough.

She also mentions being inspired by another short story. Although that one was even shorter, I liked it more for where it took me as a reader.
