Red Sphere
Far Future Science Fiction Short Story
What happens to young men who must have sex with a woman at least once a year, or they spontaneously explode? Jonnie Grip learns the hard way. This short story is from the author of Bleedover.
Excerpt: Jonnie Grip stands in his kitchenette with a fancy UV light in his hand. He raises it to his forehead, then pauses. He thumbs the small device no bigger than a toothbrush, the texture of its cool brushed-metal finish abraded for purchase. Every time he uses it he feels his gut flip and almost empty its contents. A small mirror on his fridge reminds him the days are ticking off too fast.
(WARNING: "The Red Sphere" contains sexual content.)
