Scion by Thomas Ha Clarkesworld Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine and Podcast.

Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.

I’m so sorry, Wendy. It really is devastating how few safety nets there are for the most vulnerable here. Sending hugs.

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
