J. R. Frontera proves in this tale of the future that a mind belonging to the glory days of the Twilight Zone still puts pen to page. This brilliantly written, very meaty science fiction thriller short will have you jumping out of your chair -- literally -- and when it's over, you'll be haunted by the results....
Rostam Hobbs never told anyone about the dreams.
He'd been on track to make Chief Engineer on the New Horizon space station … before the dreaming interrupted his sleep patterns. Before the miscalculation that nearly froze the entire west residence wing into a block of ice. Before he’d been reassigned to a junk-bucket scout ship to get lost in some godforsaken corner of space.
Dreamers were supposed to have been identified and utilized by the time they hit puberty, and he’s well past that. Maybe they wouldn’t take him now, given his age, but he doesn’t dare chance being found out. Most people are blissfully unaware that Dreamers even exist. But he works in Engineering. He knows everything about Dreamers.
And on a ship this small on a mission this long, it’s getting harder and harder to hide …
