    About this ebook

    The emergency lights blinked, slow as the heartbeat of a dying man.

    Kawehi watched them, trapped in the debris left by an explosion that had rocked the Stellar Darkness. He couldn't move, couldn't call for help, and could feel his blood slowly draining away.

    Even microgravity wasn't allowing him to wiggle free from his floating tomb of debris.

    The worst part was not knowing whether his beloved husband Ejiro had survived. Decades together and now they were going to die apart, their ship adrift around them.

    Stellar Darkness Adrift is a SF struggle for survival where age and wisdom are as important as youth and vigor. Don't miss out on this tense little story!

      Stellar Darkness Adrift

      The emergency lights blinked, slow as the heartbeat of a dying man. Kawehi watched them, breathing in for a count of eight, holding it, letting it out over the count of eight. Over and over and over. His heart still pounded like the beat of a fast-spinning neutron star. His legs were cold. Mostly numb. Kawehi could have craned his neck, looked at the blood pooling around his knees, but there was no point to that.

      Screaming for help wasn't going to do any good. He'd tried that for quite a while. Tried struggling. Tried praying. None of it had worked.
