This was such a fun first contact story! Nice and short, and perfect for a warm summer day to transport your mind somewhere cool.
Splendid praise from Dafydd McKimm for my SF novella ELLIPSES
"A somersaulting hard-SF novella with 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞, made all the more joyful by Spires's uniquely acrobatic prose.”—Dafydd McKimm, author of MY HEART AND OTHER PLANETS & "The Colossus Stops"
Lovely praise for my SF ELLIPSES novella from @sbdivya.bsky.social
"A lovely story of first contact that takes some unexpected twists and turns - full of lush biology, tense survival, empathy, and friendship."—S.B. Divya, award-winning author of RUNTIME, MACHINEHOOD, and MERU | LOKA (The Alloy Era)

I got my contributor copy for Scifaikuest!
My scifaiku poems "pregnancy on kepler-c", "netting lemon drops" and "clear pearls" are on page 29 and there are some really intriguing gems of poems alongside mine in here!

Achingly good, intoxicating and mind-bending science fiction by Dafydd McKimm—and free to read.
Chirality turned on its head, the longing for truth and unknowing, fruitful considerations of identity and star-crossed passion.
Highly recommended!
