Distant Earths Flash Fiction Collection

Distant Earths transports the reader to strange realities with 27 stories of sentience, survival, and worlds unknown. Inside this volume you will find ocean fantasies and starship horrors, stories of deep longing and unbearable hope.

In Spill-Free and Sparkling, a shipboard cleaning system deals with a dire situation while unaware of the realities facing the crew, all in the name of perfect cleanliness.

In A Golem Made of You, our protagonist encounters failure, disgust, and desire as a parasite overtakes his ship, leading him to question his humanity and the unbearable burden of loneliness.

In Aspiration Extermination, we view a robot apocalypse through the optics of the mundane and the workers who clear the earth of humanity, despite the tedium of the task.

The stories in this collection are all interspersed with tiny drabbles - stories themselves in small, 100-word snippets.
