A seedy bar in the depths of poverty stands stalwart against the perfect sparkle of the mar-fab city. A nearly sunken boat lures the foolish exile who might try to bring it to dock. A translator unducted from a festival finds themself in trouble they never expected. An unexplained power outage soaks the whole region in sheer chaotic darkness on a moonless night. With no friends left standing, another exile seeks the solace of the end of a life. What else is there? What else could there be?

These breaks in the pattern bring hope. And hope, like a broken pipe of clean water, springs eternal. Or, nearly so.

About the author

Rei Rosenquist

Rei Rosenquist is a queer agender writer of speculative fiction and queer romance. With literary roots in the likes of the bard Shakespeare, stream of consciousness inventor Virginia Wolfe, post-modern poet Ezra Pound, and post-modern playwright Samuel Beckett, Rei's often dark dystopian fiction is both lyrical and human.
When not writing, they rescue, rehabilitate, and free flight train captive parrots in need. They also read tarot, lemormand, and oracle cards for those interested in archetypal insight.
Their short fiction has appeared in Giganotosaurus, Heart’s Kiss Magazine, and Summer Sizzles by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
