The Noble Mutant posted at Oort-Cloud

I’ve posted a science fiction short story, The Noble Mutant, to Oort-Cloud. Here’s a snippet:
“Technically you’re a parasite,” I shot back. “You implant fertilized eggs in the female uterus, a clone of yourself. You’re like a cuckoo, putting your egg inside another bird’s nest, forcing our women to raise your offspring, who will grow up to exploit other women. That’s parasitic.”
“Technically,” Daniel corrected without a hint of animosity, “we are exoparasitoids, and it’s not something we are ashamed of.”
That was interesting, thanks. :)
Your writing is becoming more sophisticated and mature. That one (with a little bit of editing) is worthy of publication. I say go for it!
PS…NaNoWriMo starts November 1. I’m on board this year. Interested?
I can’t do NaNoWriMo. I’ve got so many other demands on my writing time, there’s no way I could put together a whole novel in a month. But good luck with it, and be sure to blog your progress!
