Micro SF/F by O. Westin

"Faster than light?"

"Anything can be achieved," the alien's translation device said, "by balancing the four fundamental chkoi."

"You mean gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear forces?"

"No, the fundamental chkoi."

"What are they?"

"Spite, tiredness, hope, and 'fuck it'."
