Seeded

Five years travelling faster than light in a colony transport goes slower than you think, but the credits are worth it.
Captain Ona and her crew are ready to collect a tidy sum for delivering the Flock to Paradise. On the cusp of seeding the colony, they encounter a force that will forever change them. This is what happens when science collides with fantasy.

This is a short story—flash fried for busy readers who want a tasty snack.
