Book preview

From the Night

By Meyari McFarland

Eashana licked her lips. Maalai's green curry tingled on her tongue, mixing with the sweat and stink of fear that filled Eashana's helmet. Static echoed in her ears. The faint rasp of the universe's birth curdled its way down to her stomach, sending acid burning up Eashana's throat.

Too quiet. Her sisters were far too quiet. The glory of the nebula around them, baby stars burning bright here and there, planetesimals forming as they slowly swept like giant mining ships through their orbits, gathering debris to their bosoms, lurked in the back of her mind. They were hidden here from rivals, yes, but they were also trapped if anything went wrong. Or she was. Would be. Could be. Why weren't her sisters answering?
