Spacer Tales: The Lonely Engineer

By S J MacDonald

It's a quiet night in Kluskey's spacer hangout, so Tam Kluskey asks veteran spacer Jok to tell a story.

Jok tells the tale of the Surehaul Logistics 7, a freighter which should never have been in space. When the ship arrives at its destination under autopilot and broadcasting a distress signal, a rescue team is sent aboard.

What they find is the haunting story of the Lonely Engineer.

A 3,200 word sci-fi ghost story.

I am a primary school teacher living in Cardiff, Wales, UK. I live in a tiny house full of books, animals, rocks and fossils.I love travelling by myself because you get to meet more local people that way. My favourite trips so far have been ice fishing in the arctic circle, the Canadian Rockies in winter and camping with my sister in Devon (Every bit as adventurous!)I have been writing stories since I was a kid but have only recently taken the plunge into publishing. I've also recently started a science fiction review site http://www.starshipsandaliens.com which is nearly as much fun as writing.
