“The Guardian of Server HW5487” by Sol Le Roux

Submitted to Contest #219

Server HW5487 was my home. It was well-protected with traps and firewalls everywhere. Virtually no one could ever get in. And I could not get out. There was a reason for this protection.

I was the guardian and caregiver of the place. For peopl...

“Passing in the Human World” by Sol Le Roux

Submitted to Contest #213

I’ve been staring at Mathias’ new friend from work since the beginning of the party and I can’t seem to stop. I’ve never seen such perfect androgynous beauty and there’s something fascinating about them that I just can’t shake. Of course they’re noticing, I’m not the most discreet person in the world. Even their amused smile is perfect. It lifts up the corner of their lips and reveals a slight dimple that highlights thei...

Hi! I'm Sol (they/she). I'm a writer and knitting + meditation retreats host from the south-west of France. I've had short nonfiction pieces published but my dream is to be a fiction writer so I am here working on my craft. I love writing queer characters, science fiction and witchy stuff. English is not my first language, I also write in French.
