"Science Fiction" means—to us—everything found in the science fiction section of a bookstore, or at a science fiction convention, or amongst the winners of the Hugo awards given by the World Science Fiction Society. This includes the genres of science fiction (or sci-fi), fantasy, slipstream, alternative history, and even stories with lighter speculative elements. We hope you enjoy the broad range that SF has to offer.

Departure

by Nicola Chapman
Nicola has led a fairly peripatetic life, most recently drifting to a stop in Europe, where she suddenly found herself a mother and wife, business-owner and cat-wrangler, cookie-baker and curry-eater. Nobody is as astonished at this as she is.

The End
This story was first published on Thursday, January 16th, 2020


Author Comments

Sometimes a story hangs around on your hard drive and migrates as you change machines, getting lost in the corners where the digital dust bunnies live. Then one day, it pops up unexpectedly and you think, "Oh, yes, I always meant to finish that one." This story did that and I finished it, finally. Glad I waited--the ending would have been so much less satisfying ten years ago!
