Patreon Microfiction: “Ask Me No Questions, I’ll Tell You No Truths.”
Patreon Microfiction: Keeping Our Distance.
‘Keeping Our Distance:’ Yeah, there’s a reason why nobody in the Fermi Resolution is messing with sending people to the moon again. They’re not sure what’s up there, and they have… more important things to worry about, anyway. Maybe when the Dominion’s dead and buried/
Patreon Microfiction: None of the Answers are Good.
Really, None of the Answers are Good. Which is why people aren’t asking that many questions. As the sage once said: I could tell you, but then you would know.
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Xenohunting Advice.’
Patreon Microfiction: Timmy and the Bad Place.

Patreon Microfiction: Sole Survivor.

So we’re left with stuff like ‘The Foyer.’ Frozen moments of horror, suspended in time forever.
Patreon Microfiction: No, Really, Never You Mind.
No, Really, Never You Mind. Dryads in mythology can be incredibly touchy creatures. All nymphs and female nature spirits, really. If they’re not being in a killing mood, you probably shouldn’t try to change that by asking impertinent questions.
