The Littlest Barnacle

There's a certain joy to be had in making a silly title for a story and just rolling with it. In my newest short story "The Littlest Barnacle", an orphan boy stows away on a succession of spaceships and has adventures throughout the galaxy. It's very picaresque.

Unique, as far as I can tell, for the fact that the boy has no special powers or mechanical prodigy or really any skills of any use to anybody aside from being sneaky and a thief. He's an orphan, it's not like they have schools.

Can Jules avoid languishing on the Planet of Slaves? Find out whenever it gets published!
