""Bleeding from Cold Sleep" by Peter Fehervari - another story seemingly inspired by WH40K. Pioneers seem to be space marine adjacent. And the antagonists are unknowable mind-controlling beings that pre-date humanity. The story is a bit of a tease, as a future conflict is setup but then it ends. It's the first story in the anthology that has made me want to read more of that story. So, well done." — Aug 07, 2023 08:37PM

“Birds are not difficult to understand. Their behaviour tells me what they are thinking. Generally it runs along the lines of: Is this food? Is this? What about this? This might be food. I am almost certain that this is. Or occasionally: It is raining. I do not like it.”

“A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
