Tri's Shadow

by Iseult Murphy

Tri doesn’t believe in ghosts.

Life as a free space mutant - genetically altered to withstand the rigors of life in space, designed to be obedient to the norms who keep them as slaves on their cruisers and carriers - doesn’t leave her much time for flights of fancy. Scavenging junk ships for supplies and running from the enforcers keep Tri, and her fellow space muts Ebony and Hazel, focused on enemies she can see and shoot.

But when Tri suggests they check a ghost ship for food, she realises there are more things in space than she’s ever imagined.

An exciting science fantasy short story for fans of space opera and mutants who want to be free.

In her teens, she won several local and national short story competitions, including three time overall winner of the RDS Young Science Writers competition, and had work placed in international writing competitions such as the BBC Wildlife Poetry competition.
Iseult is drawn to horror, fantasy and science fiction, as she feels that the most difficult aspects of life can be best explored through the lens of speculative fiction.
