Broken Echoes

An LGBTQ+ Space Opera Novella - Stars Without Borders

NEWLY EXPANDED AND REWRITTEN! 4 TIMES THE STORY FOR THE SAME PRICE!

A dead station, a shattered past, and a battered freighter begging to be fixed.

I traded my perfect lie for a one-way ticket to the graveyard of the galaxy.

Back on Midreach Station, I was a ghost.

A mechanic hiding behind a dead name and a family I couldn't save.

Then Shuttle 703-Alpha went down.

The silence left behind was suffocating.

So I ran to Virex-3, a Fringe outpost where broken things go to die.

That's where I found Indira.

She’s a scarred heavy freighter, vibrating with a discordant hum only I can feel.

Her crew is just as battered.

An anxious loadmaster.

A girl making soup in the chaos.

And a territorial engineer who refuses to share his tools.

But I know machines. I know how to fix what's shattered.

I can recalibrate her engines.

I can make her fly.

But as the stars blur past, the hardest repair isn't the ship.

It's the mechanic.

If only I could outrun the ghosts I brought with me.
