"Better to own being a donkey for a day than to deny it and become one on a permanent basis."

As always, thanks to Isaac Arthur and the SFIA team for the inspiring theme! Based on the SFIA theme: "Surveying for Habitable Interstellar Star Systems"

About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story based on the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this and I have fun writing them.

Thanks for stopping by!
