In Maxine's way

Annotation

A girl in a white shawl failing upwards. Who is she? What's her name?

A darker tie-in to Not Ready, this series of short stories was my dumping ground for all the things I don't want to see in a good book: messy action, unrealistic gunplay, affable villains and ridiculous unbounded power creep. All building blocks to my mental model of what New Amsterdam is and how it came to be that way.

What is it?

This is my second attempt at writing fiction, a series of short stories set in the same universe as Not Ready, but not really connected to it much. Also, good 7 times shorter.
