My short story "Pinks" is free to read at Baen.com.
I got the idea for the story while coediting Tomorrow's Troopers with Hank Davis. The book is an anthology of stories featuring power armor (think Starship Troopers (the book) or Iron Man). Well, you can only read so many of a particular type of story before you end up wanting to try your hand at it, so this is my take on the power armor trope.
I had originally intended to have Hank take a look at it to see if he'd be willing to include it in the anthology, but we were running behind and I didn't get it written in time. Fortunately, Toni Weisskopf agreed that it would be a good fit for our monthly short fiction over on the Baen website.
