I didn't notice any side effects from my COVID booster, but I did take a nap today. Not sure if that was the booster or fatigue from recent weeks.

A pale-skinned woman in slingback heels wearing a short, ruched black dress stands with one foot lifted high. There is a billowing red scarf in the background. These stories are longer and have a bit more plot.

A pale-skinned woman in bare feet wearing a black mesh leotard stands with one foot slightly lifted. There is a billowing blue scarf in the caramel-colored background. She has black straps around her thighs for aesthetic purposes. These stories are shorter and hotter.

Awesome cover by Augusta Scarlett features a black woman in winter gear holding a futuristic rifle, pointed at the ground; she's looking down at a snowy landscape featuring mountains, distant spaceships, and an orbital elevator. The whole thing is in shades of blue, with purple in the title.
