He didn't want to give the guards one more chance to beat him to a bloody pulp. It would have made them far too happy. The dragons tattooed on his bruised arms and shoulders twitched and asked, What's so funny?
That's
the first paragraph of my story, “Skin Dragons Talk,” originally
published in the March 1998 issue of Science Fiction Age
and later reprinted in Mothership: Tales From Afrofuturism
and Beyond. It's set on a moon
colony run by yakuza where an intelligent virus from deep space
causes all hell to break loose.
For
a limited time, Mothership
can be purchased along with similar Afrofuturistic book as part of
The Afrofuturism Bundle.
You also books by Nisi Shawl, Bill Campbell, and many other books
that take back the future and the imagination from white supremacy.
What are you waiting for?
