My flash fiction piece, “First Rights,” is a sci-fi story involving salvage operations for high-end merchandise, the sort that might be tagged with an RFID chip. After all, if it’s valuable enough to tag, it’s certainly valuable enough to steal, right? In addition to its appearance in Droplets from the Universe, “First Rights” can also […]
