“The Final Voyage of the Ouranos“
Welcome aboard Zephyr Dromoline, your chariot through the Empyrean! We are honored to serve you during your journey to Kos Hydrin. If there is anything we can do to make your stay with us more comfortable, please do not hesitate to notify a member of the crew.
This takes place in the same setting as an earlier story of mine, “The Poison Gardener” — but instead of being confined entirely to a single garden, this one takes you into the aetheric space of the Empyrean, and a ship found drifting derelict there . . .
(Yes, this was 100% influenced by the Mary Celeste.)
It marks my fifth sale to Sunday Morning Transport, and I will update when the story is published!
