Beside a cerulean sea, there is a walled city of white marble. Overlooking its harbor of sailing ships, my wife still sculpts and sings.
It’s a place I find in rare dreams now, since she died. At the entrance to her studio, I beg to stay.
“Not yet,” she answers, as I awaken.

Notice: This month’s theme is a heteronym! SciFanSat will consider both the noun version of “Entrance” (an opening, or the act of entering), or the verb form of “Entrance” (to hold one’s attention with wonder or delight, or to be put into a trance) to be on theme when considering submissions.

My January #SciFanSat cover art for our ice-themed issue coming out this Saturday. Beyond my love of #SFF pulp covers, this piece was inspired by a simple question to myself: Why is it always a caveman frozen in ice? That evolved into this improbable meeting of women explorers.

A turret is leveled and speakers blare. “Border quarantine! Illegals, disperse immediately!”
The zombies chasing us turn to the ICE droneboat following dead men’s orders. It machine-guns them as they leap onto its deck.
Maria dives into the river. “Now’s our chance! Swim!”
