twelve thousand flowers (free edition)

[ursula]

A velokab can more or less pilot itself. But machines can’t make moral choices. Or strategic ones either, supposedly. That’s why, if a kab ever crashes, its driver is supposed to pay the price.

When people talk about humans taking responsibility, they always seem to mean somebody else.

My story The Association of Twelve Thousand Flowers is now available to read for free at the Cossmass Infinities website!

In my head, what happens is Rauzanet raises some money and Talga figures out how to sell their kab license, and then Talga buys into an electrician's co-op. They're a little bit scarred by their experience, but they're also ready to learn something big and new.

I definitely plan to write more about this universe! But the next thing might come from the folder on my laptop labeled "judge saint spy".

Well, I'm relieved on Talga's account. Phew. Good to know they're going to come out of this okay. Electrician seems like a good future for them.

(And I'd love more stories in this world.)
