#WIPSnips no "locker," but close enough!
This is from my WIP novel 'Sanatoria!' which follows a grieving mother as she visits her estranged brother in Florida. Here, two stranger-cousins have a moment with Shelley the sea-turtle.

"I never know what I think, until I read what I write." I don't recall who said this first. I do know that it's true. Your writing can become an automatic tap into your buried mental stuff and when you read it months later you will quiver in reaction. Self Sight.

Jumping in a bit late!
Some civilizations in Pity use light tunnels — localized folds in space time near occupied planets that allow radio signals to pass over great distances instantly. Some more wealthy folks might also have quantum entangled devices.

Convinced she killed her father, Sam enters a high stakes deal for her soul with Hades to get three days to find him and make amends.
