The Pirate's Little Shop

[Interstellar + No System + Soft Sci-Fi] One of the three novels in the Imperial Beast Universe series. Welcome to the Pirate Shop. The sign hangs crooked, the exterior is rusty, and the proprietress has an octopus perched on her head that helps her steal things. The listed price is the price, and haggling is out of the question, because the proprietress may well be on the run from pursuers. This is the only shady shop in the universe willing to sell absolutely anything. Wanted posters cover the walls. Outside, a mechanical arm grabs asteroids for snacks. The Emperor Beasts' eye gunk is piled on dusty shelves beside all sorts of mysterious artifacts of unknown origin. The shop has only one rule: if you dare to buy it, they'll dare to sell it. Buyer beware. This is an experimental soft sci-fi novel, so each chapter will be revised and polished multiple times. I just want to create a reading atmosphere everyone can enjoy. I'm still working hard to update, so please show your support. Your discussions and feedback are the greatest recognition this novel could receive, and I'll do my best to keep writing the stories you enjoy.
