A Swarm Cycle Story
Anne (Frank's wife and Obie's mom) says a temporary goodbye to Lieutenant Stewart. This story falls after the events in "Stewart's Third Mission" and is a kind of thank you for those that have sent me such kind comments about the series. This doesn't advance the story, it's pretty much just sex. This story is loosely connected to "Anne's Night." The two stories were conceived as one Sheherazade-like narrative, but it worked better when they were separate. Thank you, Readers!
