The last soldier’s last stand.
Alone. Leda is the last living member of the brigade, the sole defender of her world. War took everyone she knew, leaving her in the company of memories and ghosts. Or is it madness? The siren blares. The enemy is coming. Or is it? The approaching vessel isn’t a friendly design, but it answers with the correct code. Leda must figure out whether the arrival is reinforcements or the final assault. In an aging flyer, she ventures out to meet her world’s fate, the last stand.
Behind the Scenes: This story was inspired by a novel I started when I lived in NYC. My wonderful friend asked to read the pages and remarked on how my character was very ‘alone’. Years later, she asked me about it. I had switched to sci-fi by then, so wrote Alone in outer space for her. Other inspirations: Leda the myth and Torchwood. This story was also published in the anthology, Space Jockey.
