Eons after Earth has been abandoned, various human civilizations have propped up across the Milky Way. As it turns out, one of these planets, isolated for years untold, had a population of humans evolved to a four inch stature, known as Parvians. When it was discovered, a gold rush sent waves throughout the galaxy, making Parvians the hottest commodity. 

We follow Martin, a third generation Parvian stationed in a backwater star system, and Tenebris, an outlaw, trying to make some money off the Parvian trade, as they travel the galaxy searching for their perfect buyer. 

The story has an integral 'hard sci-fi' focus, and I only use ideas I deemed plausible enough to exist realistically, with minor bending of the rules on occasion. 

What would happen if one of the symptoms of long COVID was shrinking? And what if, mysteriously, it only happened to men? That's what I attempt to answer in this new commissioned story. We follow Cameron, who has shrunk to a half an inch tall and tries to navigate the new world he finds himself in. Jobs, friendships, dating...all of it is different now that he's this tiny. 

This story will be four chapters long.

Grant is abducted, downsized, and sold into slavery. After falling in love with a (comparatively) giant woman during one of his shrunken jobs, the two unlikely partners must fight the hardest battle they'll ever know to keep the tiny Grant safe.
