Rods and Cones

From then on, he'd decided, he'd do the opposite of everything that he'd always done. Since he hadn't liked the way that his life had been going because of the kind of person that he'd been until then, to do the opposite would have to be the right...

Yet So Far Away

"I try running away, I'm just not fast enough... My own friends hate me, but I don't give a shit." (Wavves, Green Eyes) "I can't believe you did this _again_." Aside from the droning hum of her ship's engine, the two of them had been sitting in...

A Man To Fish

"Now, fighting isn't just about power." Jackie was standing straight up in front of her, giving Dex her full attention. "It's about flow, range, leverage, and direction." Dex was slowly pacing back and forth in front of the roach as she talked, her...

Sticks & Stones

Dex hadn't been to this bar in a while. It was a lot easier to get drink than food, if anything. Those days were behind her, she mused. She wrapped one of her crinoid tendrils around her glass, thinking about how different her life might have been if...

Mean You No Harm

_Fran had worked the nightshift at a convenience store. It had suited her in some ways. After a short, mercifully optimistic period of settling into it, it had become customary for her to think of herself as hating her job. Most people hated their jobs...

Off Limits

_"Time for bed, sweetie."_ _ Fran looked crestfallen. "Can't I just stay up until the next commercial?"_ _ Her mother grinned, endeared yet still reproachful. "You always say that." The days always seemed so short. Whenever they were at an end, all...

Eye of a Needle

"Are you afraid of needles, Fran?" Fran had always vaguely hated hospitals. This must have been a fairly widespread sentiment all over Earth, she imagined. Of course, you go to the hospital because you need to, not because you want to, she told...

Phone Home

_ "Thank you, Fran." Her best friend and her roommate had been there to welcome her in her hospital room after she'd woken up. It had made her glad to be back._ _ "For what?" She'd tried to sit up in her hospital bed. Harder than it looked._ _ "For...

Conveyor Belt

"See Fran, you put the laundry in first, then you do the dishes while it's in the wash. It's more efficient that way!" \*\*\* "So you also use them to knit." Jackie had looked for the quantum translocator all over the Renegade ship, double-checking...

Let Them Eat Cake

Fran had made it a habit to always make sure that her pets' treats would be kept in a place where her pets couldn't reach them. It'd been a safety precaution, for their own good. One day, somehow, though, she'd made a mistake and left them somewhere...

Cockroach Motherfuckers

"There's two kinds of work in the world." Fran's roommate was a communist. "First, there's work-that-stays." She was also a writer. "Then, there's work-that-goes-away." The jackal didn't write, herself, but she'd asked about what made her roommate...
