Wattys 2024 Shortlist and sequel to the Wattys 2021 winning story (Sci-Fi category), "Foston Slacks - Time's Flies".

For all of a few hours. Now he's back, with a new, adorable and cuddly face with news that the multiverse is in danger, which was probably also because of Clara. With time running out, and Time helping out, Clara and Foston must seek out the source of all the trouble. Well, the other source. Travelling through space and time, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new ... wait ... wrong franchise. To save the multiverse, Clara must go to Hell and back (not a euphemism), to a world populated by very familiar people and to a Tibetan monastery two hundred years in the past where both cricket and jazz are invented far too early. Foston and Clara. Together again to save the multiverse. Again. Cover created in Canva, using stock pictures from Pixabay.

Ren Kinori is a worn‑down courier pilot with a duct‑taped ship, a bag of reconstituted potatoes for dinner, and one last delivery before he can finally retire. His only companion is the Solar Ray's onboard AI - a glitchy, unfiltered digital gremlin with the comedic timing, chaotic energy, and mouthy attitude of a certain red‑suited mercenary who never learned what the word "quiet" means. Ren expects a simple job. He gets anything but. When a terrified alien woman named Kira emerges from a crate in his cargo bay - elegant, gray‑skinned, and fleeing a political marriage that could reshape entire star systems - Ren's quiet life detonates. Kira isn't just a runaway. She's the daughter of a powerful corporate dynasty, and her disappearance threatens a merger that ruthless suitor Thorn Hari'lit will kill to secure. Suddenly Ren finds himself hunted across the galaxy, dodging plasma fire, ring‑current jumps, and Thorn's relentless pursuit. And through it all, his AI provides running commentary - roasting Ren's life choices, flirting with anything that moves, and offering tactical advice with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated stand‑up comic. But the universe has more in store. Deep within the chaos, Ren and Kira form an unexpected bond - one built on fear, trust, and the fragile hope of something better. Their journey leads them to Saela, a lost child with ancient ties and a heart big enough to change everything. Together, the three of them - plus one unhinged AI - become something Ren never imagined he'd have: A family. From high‑speed warp rings to storm‑torn seas, from corporate assassins to ancient mysteries, Solar Ray is a story of found family, chaotic humor, and the courage to choose love over survival. It's a tale where the smallest choices echo across galaxies, and where even a broken ship with golden wings can carry three lost souls toward a future brighter than any star.
