The Deer Girl Hitches a Ride by Seth Frost
“She told me about hummingbirds dancing for their mates. I suggested that she had mistaken a minidrone for a hummingbird, but no, she said, she meant the tiny animals with red blood in their veins who used to stop in my grandmother's garden on their way to Mexico.”
A trucker traversing the desolate, plague-ravaged landscape outside Wichita picks up a very unusual hitchhiker. Author Seth Frost is a trans writer, singer, and software developer from Kansas who currently lives in Oakland, California. His work has appeared in Analog, Andromeda Spaceways, and more.
