From Xeric grant-awarded and Ignatz Award-nominated writer Craig Hurd-McKenney and acclaimed illustrator Noah Bailey (Double Walker, Wonder Woman: Black and Gold) comes a gripping sci-fi novella about the darkness that lurks beyond Earth's orbit… Dr. Michael Kinney is light years from Earth, overseeing the terraformation of Venus. Michael is all alone, save for the computer who keeps him company during the 272 day-long orbit from night to day around the sun. And during this time, there is no contact with Mission Control. With his circadian rhythms disrupted by his extended stay in deep space, his insomnia peaks. Reality as he knows it comes into question. As Michael struggles to finish his mission, what he thinks he knows will collide with the existential mysteries of the universe: Who am I? Why am I here? Am I alone? Why is this happening to me?
