Waterman #2

by Dusk Peterson

"Depositing money in the bank was always the worst problem."

What should a young servant do when his employer may fire him at any moment, his employer's beautiful daughter is absorbed with her high school textbook ("How to be Firm with Servants"), and he's blocked from carrying out a simple task by a snooty cyborg?

This flash fiction blends science fiction with 1960s domestic comedy. It is a side story in Waterman, a historical fantasy series and retrofuture series inspired by the Chesapeake Bay oyster wars, boarding school rivalries in the 1910s, and 1960s visions of things to come.

About the author

I write noblebright novels on hope in dark times. One of my series cycles is mythic historical fantasy in a setting inspired by late antiquity. My other series cycle is gaslamp alternate history in a setting inspired by America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a touch of retrofuture science fiction in the early 1960s.
