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.

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!”
