Review of Jennifer Mace, "Sparsely Populated With Stars," Flash Fiction Online 126 (March 2024): 14-17 -- Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
It seems at first that this is a told through a series of dreams dreamt by someone in cryostasis, but as the dreams begin to fragment, things become less clear -- is it cryostasis? Is it immmortality? Or is it prison? Dreams and reality become entangled and questions multiply. In a flash fic piece, of course there's not enough time to answer them; but nevertheless, the story when it ends feels complete.
