I’ve often wondered what it would be like if everyone wore a picture of themselves as a baby around their neck for everyone to see. A banker, a teacher, a police officer, a homeless person…all of us were once very small, innocent and helpless. Would being reminded of that constantly help us remember that we are all human? Does seeing the spider embryo above make you feel differently about spiders?
We were all little once…

Eileen Maksym studied philosophy at Yale and theology at Boston College, and now uses both to write science fiction. Currently she is an academic nomad, following her astrophysicist husband around the world, two kids in tow. When not writing or kid wrangling, Eileen is a hopeless fangirl. She can be found on Twitter (@eileenmaksym) squeeing over her favorite shows, most of which involve famous detectives, dashing time travelers, and creatures that are never, ever referred to as zombies.
