boosting this again because honestly I am proud of this near future and very political sf story, the illustration by Juan Bernabeu is exceptional, and big shout out to the editor Oliver Dougherty for having such a keen eye.
An older medic with scant resources fights to support her community as they survive life behind the company wall.
This novelette is my only near future sf story, inspired by a long-ago convo with my dad & by the activists who never give up.
