Mirari Revel stories are short, queer, speculative fiction stories meant to be read in one sitting.
Mazu designs biorobots – living instruments built to measure the world's weather and never question it. But in the sterile rhythm of code and command, his own life feels increasingly mechanical: long shifts, video calls home to a mother who wants him married, and brief messages from Jordan, the man he can't quite bring himself to tell her about.
When one of Mazu's creations, a biorobot named Jazz stationed in Antarctica, begins to show signs of emotion and memory, Mazu is forced to confront what he's made – and what he's become. Jazz's awakening mirrors his own longing to live freely, to love honestly, to exist outside the expectations that have shaped him.
Set between a cold city apartment and the endless white of the Antarctic ice, Memories of the Old Sun explores the pull between duty and selfhood, science and tenderness, parent and child. It's a quiet, beautiful story about migration, queerness, and the human need to be more than the sum of our design.

Fascinating imagery; it feels like a mixture of prose and verse.
I also enjoy the format of Mirari Revel. It is a great way to share short novellas.
A speculative short story that does a great job at trying to capture the essence of existing.
(Would’ve loved for it to be longer, though, if only to see how THAT conversation went 😆)
Old rubs up against new in this scifi exploration of familial obligations, traditional ties, and a universal yearning for independence.
