Bonfire (Unabridged‪)‬

"Bonfire" is a science fiction short story written by Lamees Alhassar. It is a display of the most boundary-pushing, genre-blurring and creative-sophistication. By sending us to alternate universes and engaging with a wide spectrum of emotions from tenderness to fear, it challenges the way we see our place in the cosmos. It dazzles with ambition, striking style, and the promise of imagining the unimaginable.
