Welcome to the Grotto!
So, it is summer, or almost summer, and I am proud to present a new
issue of Nimue’s Grotto.
So what have you been up to since we saw you last? Maybe you are on
vacation? Well, we've got some relaxing reading for you in this, our second
issue of the Grotto.
Despite some technical difficulties that have made us a week late, we're
getting into the swim of things. We have stories from some new writers and
also from some that you might remember from our Spring issue. Tell your friends
about us and, if you have the time, send a little feedback our way. We would
love to hear from you.
If you have never visited us before, you can check out our premiere issue
from Spring, 2017 and catch up on what you missed.

Light Always Accelerates
by Ken Dushek
“We don't warp the space-time boundaries to travel through a hole or vortex,” I explained. Her long orange hair covering the top half of her face. She pulls the majority of the blockade behind her ear, but it just splashes back into place a second later.
