Closer to the Edge

by Alpert L Pine

Overview

There's nothing on the barren world of Talos IV except a small mining colony. For Carmen Peach, returning to the planet after several years away, there's something more. A painful memory, which she feels no longer equipped to live with. And a promise made to a lost loved one years ago.

Now, seven years on from a tragedy that she's never fully accepted, Carmen Peach steps foot once more upon Talos IV. Retraces those distant events, to confront a future intertwined with the past.

A stand-alone short story set within the universe of the Many Worlds Saga. Approximately 4400 words.

About the Author

Alpert L Pine lives and writes in a small cabin, off the grid, in the Northwest United States. Once per week, he treks to the nearest town on foot—rain, snow or shine—and spends the day transferring his material into a digital format, with the help of the kindly librarians whom he has befriended. When he's not writing, he spends much of his time with a metal detector, looking for a rumored Templar treasure which is said to be buried somewhere nearby. To date, he's found a few nails, an old Liberty head penny, and a strange amulet. For free stories, news about past and future releases, and more, visit his website: AlpertLPine.com
