The Future Fire

My short story "Drown or Die" has been accepted into The Future Fire, one of my favorite webzines of all time!

They had to drown this planet. Drown it or die. They needed more oxygen, and for that they needed plants, Earth plants. And Earth’s plants needed water.

And water was poisonous to Diana’s ecosystem, but so what?

So what if your iron garden dies, Sharon? It’s the future of the human race.

As the desert planet of Diana is terraformed to support an increasing number of settlers--refugees from a devastated Earth--Sharon can only watch as her world, and the woman she loves, fall apart.
