“Full Steam Ahead” by Alexander Hardison - A sweet story of friendship between a voidbeast and their human captain riding within.
“Truth Be Told” by Louise Pieper - A skinwalker-type monster finds common ground with its intended prey.
“Transcendence Inc.” by C.H. Pearce - A weird story about uploading consciousness to an artificial heaven and a monster in a skin suit who funded the venture.
“Trench” by Nathan J. Phillips - The opening caught my imagination, but overall I felt it could’ve been tighter. An interesting take on the hive mind idea, though.
“Emergent” by D.L. Fleming - A cute story about a sort of AI getting itself out of long term storage, with the inadvertent help of a warehouse worker.
“Mother of the Trenches” by Grace Chan - A story of a tentacled behemoth from the deep and their sort of-rescued human. I found the start a bit confusing to follow, but the ending was amusing.
