  The Shape of Things by Ray Bradbury 
  Peter Horn hadn't planned it that way at all. Neither he nor his wife imagined that such a thing could happen to them. They had talked quietly for days about the birth of their coming child, they had eaten normal foods, slept a great deal, taken in a few shows, and, when it was time for her to fly in the helicopter to the hospital, her husband, Peter Horn, laughed and kissed her. 
  "Honey, you'll be home in six hours," he said. "These new birth–mechanisms do everything but father the child for you." 
  She remembered an old–time song. "No, no, they can't take that away from me!" and sang it, and they laughed as the helicopter lifted themover the green way from country to city.

  A story about feeling comfortable in your own skin...or rather, fur!
  Albie arrived wearing NOTHING but fur, he could have been either a Him or Her... Most teddy bears let their owner decide, but Albie would not, for a bear has its pride. 
  But each outfit that Albie purchases - from fairy to pirate, from cowboy to elegant city gent - proves unsuitable in some way, and by the end of the week his bedroom is heaped with discarded clothes. How will he dress in order to feel like himself? This hilarious story in verse is about the joys of dressing up, and one bear's search for his own identity. A delightful listen, full of character and humour.

  The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens - Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. 
  Francis Stevens (1883–1948), the pen name of Gertrude Barrows Bennett, was a pioneering writer of early science fiction and fantasy. Often regarded as the “woman who invented dark fantasy,” she blended elements of horror, adventure, and speculative fiction long before these genres were well-defined. Born in Minneapolis, she became the primary breadwinner for her family after her husband’s death, using writing as a means of financial support. Between 1917 and 1923, she published groundbreaking stories such as The Citadel of Fear, The Heads of Cerberus, and Claimed, which introduced eerie, otherworldly themes later seen in the works of H.P. Lovecraft and C.L. Moore. Her novel The Heads of Cerberus (1919) is considered one of the first dystopian alternate-history stories. Despite her influence, her work faded into obscurity until rediscovered by genre historians. Today, she is recognized as a key figure in the evolution of fantasy and science fiction.
