Child of Spring

By Meyari McFarland

Meyari McFarland returns to the world of Mouse and Snake in a story of a found family and the cycles of life.

Ben's terraced garden, cut high into the mountainside where few dared to work, was his pride and joy, source of his family's food. Twenty years of working it had taught him every nook and cranny, leaving few surprises until the cool spring day he found a beaten and abandoned toddler by the blackberry bushes.

Child of Spring is a tender cyberpunk story of family, the bonds forged by working the earth together and the inevitability of death even in the far future.
