Doctor warns Covid Cicada strain 'significantly different' The strain first emerged in Africa in 2024, but appears to be spreading quickly across several US states as a doctor warned that the vaccine might not be as effective against Cicada

“The first US case was detected in June and it has since been detected in patients and the wastewater systems of 29 states. Doctors have said that the COVID-19 vaccine, however, might not be as effective against this strain as it is significantly different from its peers…”

SYNOPSIS: Life runs more efficiently when nothing hurts. In Meiyu, people clip away their heaviest emotions and store them in memory drives so life can continue neatly and undisturbed. Lena is a courier who delivers these sealed fragments across the island, her days defined by routine, distance, and careful neutrality. When one delivery goes wrong, a defective drive activates in her hands. The feelings inside are not hers and were never meant to surface. Ignoring protocol, Lena follows its pull through the city, through night markets scented with scallion and fried dough, into noodle shops, and the quiet generosity of neighbors’ kitchens, where lives brush against one another. With each step, the walls she’s build around herself begin to thin. ALL THAT HOLDS BETWEEN is a gentle, speculative novella about rediscovering what’s lost, savoring what remains, and allowing life to hold more than function.

ALL THAT HOLDS BETWEEN by SJ LEE: 🍜 Queer + cozy speculative fiction 🍜 Processing grief 🍜 The power of memory 🍜 So much delicious food!
