“Empty Nest,” a new piece of flash fiction by Richard Zagorski

The free SF story site 365 tomorrows has a new piece of flash fiction titled “Empty Nest” (2010), by Richard “Zig” Zagorski. It’s about a space satellite and her daughters, nine Martian rovers, each named for one of the Muses of Greek mythology. Here's the opening line: “Harmonia, in low orbit, drifted over the red planet just as she had done for over a year now.”
