About this listen

Lon and Cathy, a deeply in love couple turned new farmers on a distant world, find themselves ensnared by a ruthless company. What initially seemed like a golden opportunity quickly reveals itself as a trap—one that binds them to a life of debt while they toil away to cultivate the highly sought-after Thanar leaves. With equipment designed to fail and crops mortgaged for years, they are left to ponder a future that feels bleak and hopeless. Just as their situation appears dire, an enchanting couple from another world, Rhadampsicus and Nodalictha, pass through the solar system. In their tender love, they twine their 16 eye stalks, only to stumble upon Lon and Cathy’s plight. When Nodalictha adopts two tiny bipeds as pets, unexpected adventures ensue. Can this unlikely encounter spark a way out of the couples dire circumstances? Join them on a journey that intertwines love, desperation, and a touch of cosmic whimsy.Copyright Sci Fi & Childrens Stories Science Fiction Social Sciences
