A couple of astronauts crash land on an ocean planet (apparently) and incrementally sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few stories are more mental than incremental, you'll see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the stories have won awards and have been published before, but most of the wordage is new and drawn together for a common theme.
