      The Bargain

      Dec 10, 2022

      “Which one of you owns G2V3889?” Cygnus glided through a luminescent star field suspended in the center of an otherwise dark, oblong studio, then turned in a slow circle to survey the twenty Agents surrounding him. “Come on, speak up.” Vega shuddered

      Dec 1, 2016

      The first time I saw a meteor, I’d slipped outside to lie in the grass after everyone else had gone to sleep. The daytime commotion of my cousins’ and siblings’ games and my Poppop’s blaring polka music often drove me to tears. As an introvert, I wan

      From the Editor

      So this is what happens when the Spaceports & Spidersilk editor steps through one of the portals on her space station!

      As readers may notice, there have been changes here at S&S. Much as a werewolf shifts its form, we have shifted publishers and formats. I suppose that with all of the full moons possible in the many worlds to which this station connects, it was only a matter of time until this sort of lycanthropy overtook us.

      What has not changed is the type of stories and poetry we have for you. In this issue we have tales of stellar spies and planetary detectives, of zombies and dragons, and scarily creepy crawlies that appear when you are conscious and when you are not. We have stories that take place in fairytale worlds, on far off planets, and ones that are based far closer to home.

      Pull up a chair, find something cool and refreshing to sip, and settle down for a good read.

      But... if you hear howling in the distance, you might want to just ignore it. Some of the moons that the editor investigates may lead to more... conventional... types of shifting.

      The Aurorafly

      by Courtney Pietruski

      Auroras are loosely defined as highly charged particles from the sun striking Earth’s atmosphere. But is that all they are…?

      What makes you so sure your suspicions are correct? a mid-level spy asked.

      I’ve got something to show you, Sincain said, which will prove they are.
