Judy Backhouse writes optimistic future fiction to explore better futures for humankind and planet Earth.
Before we can bring about better futures, we must imagine them so that they enter the domain of possibility. Stories are a way to expand our minds and adjust the possibility horizon.
Judy retired in 2023 from a long career which included work as a mathematician, an information systems architect, a senior manager in the corporate world, advisor to the South African Minister of Higher Education, Head of the School of Economics and Business Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa and a researcher at the United Nations University investigating how technologies can improve governance.
Having earnestly pursued truth and explored the limits of evidence, she now (in the words of the immortal Le Guin) makes stuff up.
Can we understand the creative struggles of a species on a scale vastly different to our own? This story recounts the plight of one, Ethar, whose attempts at creation resulted in disaster. Told in a conversation between her brother and another creature, a tiny creature, that has had to slow down to align their timeframes, it is a tale of sadness and loss, misunderstandings and learning, mystery and discovery. Set in the Solar System, in a tiny corner of the Milky Way, it explores the feelings and experiences of very large and very small sentient beings.
This short story was first published in the anthology Sentient Space by 4 Horsemen Publications.
