Aveari is a young girl with big dreams. Leaving her small colony on Io for the bright lights of Jupiter’s Halo is all she’s ever wanted. Now she has her chance.
But life on the planet-spanning station is neither as glamorous or simple as she imagined. In fact, Aveari is about to find out just how cut-throat things can be in the dark deeps of the Halo.
Will the sheltered life she’s led so far be the death of her? Can she find the strength inside to survive or will she become just another footnote in someone else’s story, fading into obscurity as her light is swallowed by the overwhelming darkness at the so-called centre of civilization?
DARK DEEPS is a short story set in the depths of the great Jupiter’s Halo station. Read it now for a glimpse into the darker corners of humanity’s future and the lives that matter too little for history to remember.
