In “Pinball Effect,” Kenji — a human abductee traveling the galaxy with his alien abductors — visits a planet with no gravity. The inhabitants are flesh and blood and as dense as humans, and Kenji falls in love. But throwing your weight around has consequences on a weightless planet, as Kenji and his lover — or is it lovers? — are to learn. This story is not recommended for people who dislike science fiction, exotic love interests, or hissing sounds.
