In the Earth's Shadow

Alone in a solitary fuel depot that hovers between Earth and the Moon, Ferris has spent six years keeping the lifeline of interplanetary commerce humming. His routine is shattered when the distant voice of his supervisor announces a sudden replacement—a fresh‑out graduate named Brooks—while an urgent, unknown cargo approaches. The isolation that has become his home is suddenly threatened by a stranger’s desperate demand for fuel, and Ferris must decide whether to protect the station or risk everything for a chance at freedom.

The story unfolds against the stark backdrop of the void, where every decision echoes across the silent expanse. As Ferris confronts the enigmatic intruder, a dangerous game of trust and betrayal begins, testing his resolve and the fragile balance of the orbital outpost. Listeners are drawn into a tense, character‑driven drama that asks what one will sacrifice when the only thing keeping you afloat is your own steadfastness.
