Living in a flooded lighthouse is probably illegal, but no one has come to kick her out, so she keeps furtively tending the oyster beds and feeding the crows. But when a storm brings an unexpected—and unwelcome—visitor, her time in this final refuge might be at an end.
Planting the Shell-Bones is one of six short solarpunk stories in the Halfway to Better collection.
