From the Worlds of M. Pax…
In Corrosive, Bex has been given everything she was promised. A homestead. Precious seeds to grow. And her ideal companion: a dreambot programmed to be everything she wants. It sounds like paradise.
Until she arrives at her assigned land and discovers someone else is already there.
A man. A man who questions everything she’s been taught. A man whose ideas are considered dangerous.
Because when the world you’ve trusted starts showing cracks, the hardest question isn’t whether the system is wrong. It’s whether you’re brave enough to find out.
Corrosive is one of four stories included in The Rogue Element anthology—a collection of science fiction tales about people who discover that the worlds they know may not be the worlds they were promised.
Which story will challenge your assumptions?
