The first story in Saros #1 is "Exhibition" by @lxuwrites.bsky.social. Check out the first paragraph and read the rest (for free!) here: sarossf.com/issue-1/

"Exhibition" by Lu Xu

In her dreams, Gael has been fantasizing about stepping barefoot onto the Earth’s grass again. Here on this foreign planet, the land her feet touch is navy blue, so much so that if you flew the space shuttle across a field you would think it an ocean. There is no ocean here, just storms and rain, but when she sleeps she can still taste the saltiness of the endless sea. That is home—where the flora is verdant and the soil is crumbly and brown, not azure. When it thunders here, calamitously, she dreams about the peach trees and the love and the cars. The crows and the elephants and the rats and the sharks.
