Find out what Mags’ informant Kaufman takes with him on his last day as Chief Administrator of the Port Authority on Mars!

About the author

Matthew Howard is the pen name of a significant number of atoms which organized themselves to produce a biochemical activity so complex and so advanced that the resultant organism is expected to continue its self-awareness for at least as long as it takes to finish two more cups of coffee.

Matthew consists primarily of electrons and the nuclei they orbit, but he remains under constant bombardment by photons of varying frequencies. Millions of microorganisms colonize him every second of the day, even when he is sleeping.

His hobbies include traveling through time at the rate of one second per second, looking at cats on the Internet, and metabolizing liquid carbohydrates. He has never merged with a symbiote, nor been infested by a xenomorph, nor been overtaken by an artificial intelligence in the service of any dystopic overlord.

At least, not yet.
