“A CHILD WEEPS IN MOSCOW”

A Novella by Lawrence Dagstine

Alien possession meets alternate history, in this communist tale set in 1923 Russia, about a boy named Abraham (Abe), whose parents suddenly disappear one day. Like many of the adults throughout Russia, they are being taken away in the night by a special police force put together by Lenin’s “new” government, a government put together after the arrival of spacecrafts with biomechanoid origins and higher intelligence and influence. Aliens the citizens simply call, The Invaders!

Klara Izolyev, Abe’s teacher, tells the boy that the only way he can learn the truth about the Invaders is to go to Moscow. There he will learn what they really want on Earth, what role they play in the current socialist movement, and possibly find his missing parents and sister. There he will fight starvation, arrest, combat homelessness, and meet an even more influential figure. Arkady, the leader of a Moscow street gang, whose parents have also been taken away. Together they will all journey to find the people they once loved, discovering just why the aliens are so interested in helping Lenin.

NO horror pieces. Friend and editor Rob Crandall presents: Einstein’s Pocket Watch. Rather than genre this time, I have a mainstream piece. It’s a wonderful blog webzine. Do check it out.

Einstein’s Pocket Watch, June 2009… (appearances)

Posted on June 17, 2009

I donated a spec-fic tale to a good friend’s new “start-up” webzine, entitled: Einstein’s Pocket Watch. Edited by writer Rob Crandall, Einstein’s Pocket Watch plans to be a Christian-themed blog-zine. That means NO horror and NO curse words. Rob will look at science fiction and fantasy so long as it has a positive message; negative material and graphic fiction probably won’t find a home here. Poetry is accepted. Rob is a great guy. I know him for a few years now, and he’s a superb writer in his own right. He’s appeared in such publications as Doorways Magazine and Big Ole’ Face Full of Monster. So let’s help him make this new venture a success!
