The monarch is indestructible, as long as he flies in the rarefied altitudes, high over the people scraping a miserable existence from the scarred earth. but can he stay aloof when his masters condemn a village of smart, resourceful folks?
A multiple award-winning short-story of climate change and survival, by Canadian SF author Michèle Laframboise, published in three languages.
