First, let me say thank you for showing up and choosing to subscribe.

As promised (because we’re all about quality here), here’s your first story. Technically, a novelette. You’ll probably be able to get through it in a few sittings and it’s a pretty good primer into the works of Joseph W.D. Morton.

I hope you enjoy it.
