A short science-fiction story concerning a werewolf child in crisis, werewolf activists on the hunt, pizza, a lonely spacer, and an embarrassing request.

When a schoolyard meltdown leads to his family's true nature being revealed, Jervis heads to the spaceport, where the best pizza on Luna One comes with a side-order of spaceship crews...and the faintest chance he can get his family away before they fall victim to human intolerance. The only question is whether or not he can get them there in time.

I spent the first twenty years of my life living in different parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory. My father was a teacher who liked to travel, so he took teaching appointments in all kinds of places. I don't think I stayed in one place for more than four years at a stretch. I wrote stories for most of that time, drawing on the different landscapes we encountered and giving a hyper-active imagination somewhere to run. Seeing so many different places gave me a lot of food for thought as I stepped into the world of adulthood and took my first full-time job, and I never stopped writing and exploring the worlds in my head. So far, I have written four collections of short stories and poetry, and a number of novels, with many more to come. I hope you have enjoyed this part of my journey.
