Description

What story did I contribute?

My offering is called The Mergens and here is the blurb for you.

They are almost legend. In a galaxy as vast as ours, it’s easy to miss it when a planet or two is laid waste. After a few centuries, who’s to know what caused it, though there are always dark rumors. Are the Mergens bringers of justice or fanatics? Pirates or rescuers? The answer depends on who is asked.

To those who see the dark round shapes appearing in their sky, they are not legend or mere rumor. They are harbingers of the end.

I’ll be the first to admit that this is a dark story, as in deep dark pit down at the bottom of the ocean where nothing grows eyes anymore. It was also called out as a favorite of many readers, which delights me! Currently, I’m expanding this story slightly for inclusion in the upcoming volume, The Ways We End. Sort of fitting, wouldn’t you say?
