This is another long short story (about 20000 words). It’s also a return to Sci-Fi, which is no great surprise as that is mainly what I write. But that’s enough from me. Take a look and see what you think of Scrap And Bone. “Just how long is it ‘til we get to this HelenContinue reading “Scrap And Bone”
