Story Excerpt: Next Issue

Our second presentation sweeps in with the March 2024 issue! Two action-packed novelettes feature in this exciting installment. Rachel Green refactors The Programmed People by Jack Sharkey, where citizens lead highly regimented lives and a young woman uncovers a shocking truth about the treatment of injured people in the city's hospitals. Korey Mathewson takes us on a trip to the twenty-second century to a conquered America in a spirited reimagination of Armageddon 2419 AD.

In short stories, Javier Zee takes Sim and his people out in their new ship, where he discovers that to get to space, he must first close the chapter on the hell world of his birth The Voy-agers; Jacqueline Villarreal’s new tale reveals just how far one will go to escape his past in Down the Long Road; Christopher Herrera delves into planetary exploration and the integration of human and machine in Largest in the Solar System; Joshua Holden weaves a galaxy-spanning tale traversing the distant past and future in The Coriolis Effect; and Lucas Arm-strong follows former pilot turned guide Ras-mussen Grant as he schemes to collect the re-ward for finding a missing person, but soon finds more lost things in Jumala.
