SF Drabble #454 "The Quilt"

There's a square by Grandma who was a go-go dancer in the 1990's and who retired to Boca but would always drive up to Canaveral to see the launches. There's a square for her sister, Great Aunt June, who lived with Grandma for a month one summer while waiting to join her husband who had just died.

There's a square for Aunt Meanie we aren't allowed to ask about. There's a square for Mom that she made while they were waiting to be frozen for the trip. There's a square for all the family's Earthborn women.

Now it's my turn.

  3. For a second there I thought you put aside the sci-fi for sentimentality. Lol. Of course they can go together.
