“The Bee Wrangler” – New Military Flash Fiction

Ines deals with the war by wrangling bees.

For those of you who are interested in reading or writing military fiction (the same genre which brought us Starship Troopers and Ender’s Game), check out Bullet Points Magazine! They are accepting submissions!

They are a military fiction magazine that captures the complexity, tragedy, and hope of warfare and violence in human and nonhuman society.

My story, “The Bee Wrangler,” just made it into their AI edition.

The 9th edition of Bullet Points Magazine explores AI in warfare from multiple angles: AI run amok (in some very unexpected ways), the loyalty of AI on the battlefield, or more reflective uses of AI after the fighting has stopped, and sometimes, the real fighting begins (as explained in the magazine’s introduction). There’s also a funny story about sentient bullets.

“The Bee Wrangler” depicts the tale of a former drone operator trying to overcome the trauma of war by using the military tech installed in her brain in a quite unexpected way—to save the bees!
