South Carolina Sci-Fi: A Greeting That Breaks In Half

Contact snaps off mid-sentence, and Riven is still on the other side. Moments earlier, a ribbon of coppery light had been drifting beside the work platform, glowing brighter each time Riven reached toward it. Now Noa and Jonas have to finish a three-part reply before the opening closes. Episode 4 of The Drift Compact is tense first-contact fiction. Charleston, Columbia and Greenville readers can open it free from the ad link.
