Laurence is part of a think tank filled with like-minded inventors and techno-geeks. ![]() When the two reconnect ten years later as adults, Patricia is part of a witch's cabal that regularly practices spells. Meanwhile, Laurence's rebellious behavior leads his parents to send him to military reform school. ![]() While flying, she is discovered by a magician who invites her to a school where she can learn to hone and control her powers. Fearful of the consequences and without meaning to, she transforms into a bird and flies away. They continue as friends through junior high but are separated the day Patricia is accused of witchcraft. Laurence, meanwhile, creates inventions-small stuff, at first, like a two-second time machine. Patricia, for example, discovers she has magical powers at an early age but cannot control them, causing them to manifest unrestrained. They met as children, both outcasts because of their interests. In the near future, Patricia is a witch who is friends with a so-called "techno-geek" named Laurence. The winner of the 2017 Nebula Award, American author Charlie Jane Anders’s science fiction novel, All the Birds in the Sky (2016), tells the story of a "techno-geek" and a witch who work together to save the world. ![]()

I do my best to fall asleep, but my mind keeps running through potential puppy names until I’m positive I’ve exhausted every name in existence. I curl even more into Graham, and he tightens his hold around me. “You’re forgetting about all our sleepless nights with Coriander, Paprika, Cinnamon, Saffron, Juniper, and Parsley.” “I can’t imagine what having a newborn must be like if a puppy is this tiring,” I say. ![]() When we crawl into bed, I roll toward Graham and rest my head on his chest. We leave our door open so we can hear the puppy if he starts to cry. Graham and I make our way to the bedroom. Every time that little puppy looks at me, I melt.

Sleep has definitely been the most difficult thing to tackle so far.

He licks my cheek and then rests his head in the crease of my elbow.

The others were all defeated by Steppenwolf's army. The man explains that he is exactly what he looks like. Instead, he has found a brilliant glowing man, who resembles the Greek god Mercury. In Lansing, Michigan, Jay Garrick stands over the crater caused by what he thought was a shooting star.
