Proposing a relay into uncertain futures, I end Staying with the Trouble with a story, a speculative fabulation […] Gestated in Science Fiction writing practices, Camille is a keeper of memories in the flesh of worlds that may become habitable again. Camille is one of the children of compost who ripen in the earth to say no to the posthuman of every time. (Donna Haraway)
