The Galaxy's Driving Force

Aligvel had been moving planets for as long as he could remember. Fitting them with drives, taking them through wormholes to other parts of the galaxy to avoid supernovas, saving their alien civilizations.

But then the Galactic Council decided that he's the alien for the job of moving something much larger. They want him to move the entire galaxy. But Aligvel has no idea how it could be possible.

It takes the human race to come up with the answer. But will the sacrifice be too great?

The Galaxy's Driving Force is a slightly longer short story of about 5800 words, and is #3 in the Science Fiction Weekly Short Story Series by Neil A. Hogan. Look out for a completely new story of between 4000 and 5000 words every week.
