Jordan Blue works to survive on the oppressive, corporate colony world, Shoar. A random, near-fatal encounter puts her in the company of Kuvett, a space faring creature of the stars.

EXCERPT
“Cari. Cari. Cari,” Jordan cried into her device. “It’s horrible. Awful. We’re all going to die!” She was used to thinking about her own end, but in a bed, surrounded by what few loved ones she had. Not in a planet-destroying-inferno-from-a-giant-space-mermaid sort of way. There was a significant difference.
“Calm yourself,” Caribou typed in the text field. While her capacity for vocalized speech was limited, texting worked wonders. “From the beginning, start. Your words, use.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Jordan sniffed the gunk from her nose and into her sinuses. “Okay, so, a month or so ago, I was at home.”
“Yes.”
“And I stood on the balcony of my apartment and you warned me not to do it, but I did it anyway, and, and.” She took a breath to get past the mental block. “It collapsed on me and I fell over and into a flash flood.”
“Recall, I do. Warn you it would collapse, I did.”
“I know! I should have listened! Anyway, I thought I was going to drown, but then I found myself on the beach, alive, because I was saved by a Cosmari!”
“A Cosmari?!”
“Yes, a Cosmari.”
There was a real pause that made Jordan regret that message.
“Something unusual is happening, I felt.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your strand of causality, shifted it has. Intertwined with someone else’s, it has become.”
“Oh, that’s your vision thing, isn’t it?”
“Yes, my ‘thing’. Explain about the Messengers, I tried. Declined, you did. Primordial angels, you say, too much, it was.”
Jordan slapped her free hand over her forehead. “I was wrong. I was so wrong.”
