Greetings, sapients, and welcome to 2026! No Y2K compliance bugs have been reported, so please enjoy part one of three (3!) of "What Any Dead Thing Wants" by @aimeeogdenwrites.com.
Escape Pod 1026: What Any Dead Thing Wants (Part 1 of 3)
The third week of a planetary exorcism is the hardest—at least if the planet in question has megafauna to deal with. Enthusiasm wanes even faster on worlds that never evolved past microbes.

we're trying a new thing.

we have an internationally shipping print tier for Patrons.

yes, shipping is expensive -- they wouldn't make it cheap for us even though we are SKELETONS.

join @ $11 if you're non-US-based and want to get a print copy starting with #41 Jan 19th
