Genre: Science Fiction   Excerpt:According to Lianne, searching for a lost pet was the best way for Rekha to quickly become familiar with the actual layout of the resort and to get her \u201csea legs.\u201d The bubble they were in didn\u2019t protect them completely from exotic particles, gravity waves, tidal forces, and other dangers of being so close to a black hole. Dangers that most of the people in the resort, including Rekha, didn\u2019t even half-understand.   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 \u201cTurn Again.\u201d 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 and a (satisfying) video of the wheel turning here: The Grand Universal Singularity Resort This episode landed on DEFINITIONS. A French word inspired the name of a side character and eventually led to story\u2019s core concept.  Find more stories and episodes inspired by definitions here: Year of Definitions   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   NEWSLETTERSStoryfeather Gazette (if you\u2019d like to keep up with the fiction I create) Fictioneer\u2019s Field Guide (if you\u2019d like writing tips and guidance from me)  Choose what you want.

A black hole and surrounding space. At center, a black orb almost half surrounded by a pool of glowing white and yellow seen at a bias, angled from top left to bottom right. This pool is surrounded by a hazy ring of bright orange on the same plane. Fainter and thinner rings enclose the bright orange. Small bright spots are scattered among the rings. Darkness surrounds all. A wispy beam of light bursts out from the edge of the black orb, perpendicular to the plane of the rings. At bottom left, at the farthest ring, there is a small bubble. Watermark of \u201cStoryfeather\u201d along curve of outermost rings near bottom right. ","author_name":"Storyfeather","author_url":"http:\/\/storyfeather.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
