Klappentext
When their last hope dies, the next choice is not a comfort.
The Indomitable has killed most of my people and sent the rest of us to a prison planet with poisoned air. With my sister Nora, I wait for death. But there is hope in the Creative who leads the revolution. She will set us free.
All our hope dies when a new prisoner enters our cell. The Creative has been captured and wounded. Soon, she will die. No matter how hard I try to help her.
But is it all lost? A new Creative must rise. Someone not chosen by the We. Someone who volunteers for the sacrifice. I could do it. Or am I only the weak Little Sister or Little One everyone sees me as?
A short galactic science fiction story about survival and transcendence from the author of the Blunt Force Kharma series.
