My new story, “Immortal,” is out now in Flash Point Science Fiction. It’s accompanied by the perfect cover art from Kevin Pabst.

“Immortal” is about a boy who asks the gods to give him immortality—and unfortunately for him, they grant his wish.

In a way, this story is an unintended mirror of “The Last Engine,” which appeared in Sci Phi Journal in 2021. That flash fiction was about trying to put off an inevitable ending, while “Immortal” is about the terror of knowing an end may never come.
