Anti-Gravity and the Punishment of Clever Girls
by Janna Miller
Yes, it is dark, my child. Cold and getting colder.
If you stretch out your hand, I can reach it. It won't stop the pod from spinning, but gravity is a relative bonus.
Remember the story I told you? About the banished queen allowed to take just one thing? While being dragged away, she threw her braids around her husband's waist. Tied them into a knot.
But things don't always work out for clever girls. We can't perpetually manipulate the weight of atmospheres.
So before they sealed the airlock, I determined to take the most precious thing.
I took you.
The End
