During one of my periodic attempts to reduce the number of files on my computer, I ran across a little story that I wrote over 20 years ago, but never published. Guess what? You get to read it (if you want to)!
I tagged it as science fiction, but it's connection with that genre is only because of the environments occupied by the characters. It's actually more of a soap opera, but set in worlds other than Earth, and the characters have many of the same experiences and issues that most fiction involving human beings have.
I hope you enjoy the story, and maybe editing it will let me get past my writing lethargy. I have one project, a fantasy universe, for which I have already posted an essay, and I'm thinking that if this story does well, I might be inspired to expand on the fantasy.
QM
P.S. - I know that somebody else out there is now using "QM" as their pen name, but I have been using it as my signature on correspondence related to my stories, on this and other sites, for more years than I care to enumerate. If it bothers you, just ignore my signature line.
