Description
A puppy snake stars in Droozle. The narrator traces Droozle to art school days and a grand tour. An unscheduled stop in the Coffin system introduced him to ballpoint snakes, Coffin Two's chief export. By liftoff, one small snake had become his traveling companion.
A pet from another planet, carried home in a traveler's luggage, gives the story its gentle engine. Art school, a grand tour, and interstellar stopovers blend in a future where tourism includes other worlds. Droozle himself, part souvenir and part companion, tests what his owner owes a creature bought as a curiosity. The tone stays light, the questions real. It is a small, fond piece of science fiction about pets and responsibility.
