Promotional art for SciFiSat issue 13, “Betrayal.”

If you like my work, buy me a virtual cup of coffee at Ko-Fi.

My short story/flash fiction piece “Wraiths” has been accepted into the 13th issue of SciFanSat. With the theme “betrayal” and 1,000 words to play with, I started out thus:

“Did you get the escape pod launcher online yet?” Caitlin was pacing back and forth in front of the hatch to the space station’s only functional rescue capsule. The rest had been disabled when the Wraiths blew the primary power conduits. She was holding her plasma handgun at her side.

“Almost.” Bennie had both hands buried inside the control console near the center of the EVA room. He was sweating which made it hard to keep a grip on the spanner. “I don’t feel so good. Are you sure we were inoculated in time?”

Issue 13 “Betrayal” will be published on Saturday, August 31st. Visit SciFanSat to read the rest of my wee tale plus the other stories featured.
