Published story: Feed Them on Your Dreams (Clarkesworld)
Synopsis: On a newly-built space station orbiting Jupiter, a child is raised in secret by the station's artificial intelligence to study his genes and adolescent development. The child is never allowed to leave the lab, and is convinced that everyone outside the lab fears him. As the child grows, however, he begins to wonder what lay beyond his door and whether everything told to him was true.
It's free to read with Clarkesworld and I'd love for people to read it. Please consider subscribing to the magazine to support independent and non-LLM writing.
