A homoerotic sci-fi fiction short story set in space. Aboard the space station our protagonist Shrimp, an unlucky orphan boy, is set on seducing his part-time lower-deck lover, Jonas. Maybe its his dark horse mystery, his buff body or his huge mutated member that has Shrimp desperate to impress. Unfortunately for him the rest of the station isn't exactly cheering him on. His fortune is changed after a particularly bad day at work and Shrimp finally takes the win, a little victory complete with some succulent spoils to aid his attempt at gaining Jonas's affection.

Izzy Belvin, a famous genetic engineer, is about to blast off to the "final" frontier to join the second Martian Colony, where she'll continue creating nutrient-robust insects for farms that will feed the colony and increase its sustainability. For Izzy's remaining days on Earth, her psychopharmacologist best friend, Nakomi, begs her to complete a bucket list before leaving as a means of honoring their friendship. The first bucket list item: going to one of Portland's psychedelic centers together and taking Vivectica ™, a potent psychedelic drug (synthesized by none other than Nakomi) that has become a popular form psyche-therapy. Izzy reluctantly agrees, and when she encounters a hyper-intelligent reptilian entity on her trip, she can't convince herself that he wasn't real. The days are ticking down until her trip, but Izzy, becoming obsessed with the creature, can't get over her feelings that either 1) she's given herself drug-induced psychosis right before her journey to the red planet, or 2) there's something out there, something beyond space... This novel is a wacky trip with some sprinklings of HORTON HEARS A WHO and ANT-MAN, along with lots of palatable metaphysics. ***This is my entry for the 2022 Open Novella Contest.
