Submitted to Contest #335

The star within the Dyson sphere was small—a red dwarf, steady and dim, but still, it burned. And the structure that held it, turning slowly in the dark, was vast beyond reason. Layer upon layer of framework, circling inward, held fast by gravity and velocity both. From core to skin, it was dense with tiers—thousands upon thousands stacked one atop the next, the inner shell insulated and alive, the outer shell cold and dead, like bark shielding sap.From the outside, no light escaped—only faint golden veins, like fractures in obsidian, where ...

Grief, death of a child, emotional neglect, alcohol abuse, and psychological trauma. The Body in the RainHe found her on the roof.She stood barefoot in the rain. Her hospital gown soaked and clinging to her spine. One hand rested on the IV pole beside her. The bag still hung, still dripped. Rain traced the clear tube down into her arm, mixing with the last medication she would ever take.He didn’t move.He wasn’t sure why he had come up here. A few weeks ago, he wouldn’t have known to. He was still new, just another resident with too little sl...
