Transition by Erik A. Otto

From the author of Detonation (named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2018) comes Transition, a 16,000 word science fiction short story set in an enclosed city that is besieged by an endless war. It follows Alder and Lena, who both want a family. Their only option is to have lacrotic children; precious gifts that come with an expiry date. They struggle to maintain hope and dream of escaping to the stars as the transition looms ever closer.
