For mine, Phaedra will continue where she left off last Saturday in A Symposium in Space…
I’d been raised by Timea, my mother’s assistant, and a number of maternal substitutes.
My own mother had been too busy to bother with me. Donating her ova to a fetal creche had been her way of being gracious enough to offer her superior genes to society.
When I turned out to have little ambition worth notice, my mother lost interest in me. Timea had remained in contact with me before she died from space sickness, one of the few illnesses the doctors of the Intergalactic Democracy couldn’t treat.
Losing her made me think more about life and birth, the value of both.

Thank you! I’m pleased it did…I like to sneak in humor when I can, even when I’m being serious. 🙂
