Somewhere along the way, Pastor Richard Stark's position devolved from a divine calling into a dreary job. An avid fisherman, he longs for nothing more than escaping to serene lakes in the quiet countryside. A chance discovery yields a holographic answer to the age-old question: how can you be in two places at once? A short story in the tradition of The Twilight Zone.

Space is a harsh and unforgiving place. A solar catastrophe threatens to destroy the Golgotha asteroid, home to mining camps, a penal colony, and a small space station that orbits it. With just a few hours left, only some will escape aboard the last remaining transport. But who will live and who will die, and what is the true nature of sacrifice? A smart, suspenseful sci-fi novella.
