Teaser:

The green ocean of Triton went on forever. There was no land to break it up into smaller seas, no shore for its waves to break on. Just an endless expanse of dark water teeming with alien life. Ideal for a survey team to pour over, searching for any reason a company shouldn’t start drilling into the seabed; less than ideal for a teenager to live in. Rock hadn’t wanted to move to Triton, but his father didn’t make a habit of taking his wishes into account. So there he was, under an alien sea, light years away from everything he knew, before Mom’s grave was even cold.

Length: 15 pages/4,992 words
