You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarksville Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

Welcome to our third story. For the month of July issue 214. I want to thank you for growing us

ever closer to that fateful date where Amazon decided to screw us and take away thousands of

our subscriptions. Each and every one of them counts building back that number

so thank you thank you thank you thank you and if you aren't yet a subscriber

please consider doing so.

You can find all about our subscriptions on our website, Clarksvold magazine.com, and that is Clark with an

knee.

And we have other ways to support us. If you don't want to buy a subscription you can support us at

Clarksworldcitizen.com or Patreon.com forward slash Clarksworld.

Thank you for being an integral part of us. This magazine, the ability to bring you these

stories, these podcasts, the arts, the non-fiction. You are very much a part of

what we do and we cannot thank you enough.

So our story is titled The Best Version of Yourself and is by Grant Collier.

Grant Collier is able to peel an entire Mandarin Orange in one piece without any breaks at least 75% of the time. When left to his own devices, he can be found reading, writing stories such as this one, playing music, or climbing on a plastic rock.

He has previously obtained degrees in physics and philosophy and is currently pursuing a PhD in machine learning but swears it will be his last degree.

He lives in Durham, North Carolina with his wife and their dog.

This is his first publication.

So, my dear listener, I invite you to sit back, relax,

and let me tell you a story. Story.

Question, what or who is You Diamond? Answer?
