by Aimee Odgen

There were two out-of-towners gawking at Adalène’s window when she sat down alone at the table in her shop. She’d had a pair of seamstresses to work for her, once upon a time, to do all the fussier piecing and hand-sewing. Sacred seas, she’d had customers once, too.

Sea Wolf

by Claire Scherzinger

1. The Voru Throughout the four years I had photographed the Voru shapeshifter, Cuzwast, I never knew that he had another family across the galaxy or how they got word of his death. But they came looking for answers while I, on the other hand, had been looking for a way out of the rain. […]

Her coily hair bounced along with her. Akeza, her name was. “Do you like it?” she asked. “Looks like it’s in functioning order.” “Killjoy.” The […]

Patterns in Stone and Stars

by M V Melcer

Szkazy forced her attention back to the candle, the flame weak and flickering in the breeze from the ship’s air duct.

Little Gardens Everywhere

by Avra Margariti
