A man who believes he has been condemned to the dreaded “friend zone” seeks the aid of a higher power, of sorts, in “Gather Your Bones” by Jenn Reese (h/t PZ Myers).

The story comes from Daily Science Fiction, a website that apparently delivers exactly what it’s name says, which is awesome.

I should probably also mention, for any denser reader(s), that the concept of the “friend zone” is bullshit.
