  <title>The Distant Proximity</title>
  <description>A technician monitoring the trajectory of a long-lost spaceship with an experimental engine finds a troubling piece of data. Genre: Science Fiction &amp;amp;nbsp; Excerpt:“Did you find something? Something not typical?” “It seems to be an audio file…it’s almost as if it were hidden?” I waited, saying nothing. “Then you didn’t hear anything significant?” “Like what?” “Like…noises that sound like words.” “You hear a voice? What do you hear it saying?” &amp;amp;nbsp; The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time?Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is “Turn Again.” One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them. See a story trailer here: The Distant Proximity  This episode landed on…wait a minute, I wrote this story before I devised the theme for the year. (Shhh, don’t tell the wheel.) &amp;amp;nbsp; MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?Please visit my Store page for info on where you can buy: STORYFEATHER STORE &amp;amp;nbsp; NEWSLETTERSStoryfeather Gazette (if you’d like to keep up with the fiction I create) Fictioneer’s Field Guide (if you’d like writing tips and guidance from me)  Choose what you want.
