All The Shaking Hands

ABANDON SHIP by Abe Evergreen is a flash fiction scifi-fantasy story about a fire on a space vessel. The title gives away the issue at hand, but the accelerated level of FUBAR the crew must face is horrifying. The descriptions are excellent, and there are more than a few moments where I found myself gasping.

At one point, I thought the fire might not have been an accident. I had reason to believe the entire situation was orchestrated by space pirates. The ending caught me off guard.

As always,
