38 Worlds Shut Earth Out—Then Begged the DEATHWORLDERS to Dig Them Out | Sci-Fi Reddit | HFY

Thirty-eight worlds shut Earth out and called its people deathworlders, in this HFY sci-fi story about the one species that refused to let its planet be nailed still. The Steadfast have not felt their ground move in nine thousand years, and they voted thirty-two to six that humanity must wait forever. Ninety-seven days later, a forgotten human instrument buried under their parliament begins to hear something finished ground should never make. When the galaxy's perfect worlds start to fall, the deathworlders they turned away may be the only ones who know what to do. #HFY
