There were times when Winter thought his mother had chosen to have him first, to be there for the girls when their father was gone.
It wasn’t a possibility he ever talked about; Mom, who would know, he’d never ask. Other people would either think he was crazy for at least three facets of that thought, and the ones who wouldn’t, well, were either just as close to the situation as he was, or would have reactions to it he wouldn’t find comfortable. ...
"The Way Things Flow" is the first in a three-part story. Set in Stranded World, it introduces us to Winter's mind and his life. Available this week only for the discounted rate of $10USD; micro-fund in as little as $1 increments. Increments of $5USD and more will receive their own print or PDF copy of the complete story.
