This story was originally published by Scigentasy on 5/13/14. Looks like it’s not on the website any more, and I happen to really like this story, so I figured I’d repost it here for all to see. There’s more I’m going to be doing with this universe, trust me. :)

I saw Annihilation by accident. I was simply checking the movie listings because I wanted to treat myself for finishing the rough draft of a freelance project, and I saw it listed at my local Alamo Drafthouse. Huh, I thought, didn’t realize that was out already. Hell, the only reason I’d even known it was a ...
