Local Forecast

by Joyce Sully

Overview

When investigating a disturbance in unexplored, unclaimed space, a desensitized space miner discovers something very live and very large that might doom her...or save her from another unseen threat.

For Irina, the routines of corporate space exploration--lunching on a food paste tube, sending messages in bottles across the void to her employers, and vying with a video game for her partner's attention during transit--just ended. The moment her ship passes through the warp point, Irina finds herself flung into the kind of boredom-ending uncertainty that could get her, her partner, and her robot killed.

LOCAL FORECAST is a One Afternoon Adventure, running about 6000 words.

About the Author

Joyce Sully believes in magic and dragons and ghosts, but is not convinced their next-door neighbors are real. So they write stories. Really, what else could they do?

Joyce lives in Central California. Moving there made them consider a career change: engineer developing teleportation technology. In an alternate universe, they raise and train horses, one of the oldest ways of getting around after our own two feet. Joyce pines for the future, but they plan to drag a few pieces of the past along with them.

In their universes, you’ll need your sense of wonder, a few good friends, and maybe a flamethrower.
