Another Exile

Another Exile was the first short story I ever managed to get published.  It's a speculative science fiction tale where, in the words of the publisher: "A routine adoption transport becomes an explosive post-apocalyptic adventure."

You can find the link to the story here.  It's on Sci-Fi Short Story Magazine.  I'm pretty sure the full thing's available to be read online for free. 

I think it's worth a visit just to see Vitaly S. Alexius' superb rendering of the world.  I thought he did an amazing job.  Way better than I even imagined it when I wrote the thing.
