Loongunis need constant changes to thrive, while the strange-haired Earthmen hate the endless moving around. When a sabotage impairs the shift engines of their traveling Box, the forced immobility might drive all Loongunis mad... unless their translator can work out a solution!

Science fiction adventure at its best, told by multiple award-winning author Michèle Laframboise.

If you like first-contact situations featuring an alien POV, this one is for you! A chunky 7000-word SF story.
