The Girl from a Small Cloud

By Rob Clarke

A story of two worlds, separated not only by light years but doomed to be always apart socially. The advanced race, though identical to the other, lives in fear. Not fear of extermination but of infection. The infection is sin.

Our own history tells us that the mixing of religious dogma is fraught with peril. Getting folk to listen to a concept little different to the one they subscribe to, never seems to end well.

Imagine the problem when a two thousand year old teaching clashes with one at least ten thousand years old, one fiercely defended, even to the exclusion of the entire planets population from another planet's people.

This is a voyage into the unknown, possible yet improbable. Through time warps and a hundred and ten thousand light year separation.

One started with a software glitch and a chance encounter that brings hope of a new relationship, new concepts to explore, yet, to end, inevitably, with the human failings of pride, fear and messy politics.

Pain, collateral damage, and now perhaps eternal isolation the outcome.
