Prototype: A Short Story James had made it to orbit, where he always wanted to be. He thought the hard work was behind him, but when you are responsible for a hundred million dollar prototype, the hard work may just be ahead. A glitch, or something, had stopped the robotic inspection of the build site for the first fuel depot in space. James was alone, it was downtime for the build crew and his supervisor had gone to a meeting. James had been distracted when the spider-bot had its problem and now it wouldn't communicate. James was sure the bot was more important to the company than him and that he would be terminated and sent back to Earth if he couldn't get it going. But without a link he would have to out there, and out there was not like being up here, with the station walls surrounding. What do you do when your only choice is between your dreams and a nightmare?

Guidance Box: A Short Story Those that can, do, those that can't, sit it out. But some times those that do can make a mistake. And if they don't have the integrity to face up to their mistakes, they may make the wrong decision and try to cover it up. That could cost lives. The mission to test out a new lunar cargo and personnel lander had asked for volunteers and Richie and I volunteered. We weren't suppose to do anything, we, along with a few others, were just dead weight, representing future passengers. But something went wrong with the prototype lander and we crashed into the lunar surface. All were alive but not all were safe. Richie and I had been too slow to make it to the control room and were stranded in our spacesuits. Problem was, it was the commander's mistake that stranded us and he didn't want to admit it, but Richie and I couldn't just sit tight and wait for him to eventually call for a rescue, our limited air supply wouldn't allow it. Guidance Box is set in the future (2040's) and is the fourth short story in the Remembered Earth Universe: Cislunar Series. The Remembered Earth Universe consists as of this writing, 9 short stories and 3 novellas, with more planned. While part of a series all the stories can be read as stand-alone.

L1 Or Bust: A Short Story There's a place for everyone, and everyone better know his place, at least aboard a spacecraft. I felt like that too, until something seemed to be going wrong on the mission to save the first fuel depot built at the Earth-Moon system's L1 point. There was a problem, a total systems failure kind of problem, and the Commander and his First Officer seemed to not be making any progress solving it. And if they didn't solve it soon, the mission would be lost. And that meant, I would be lost in space along with them. As the company's head engineer, I thought I could help if given the chance. Problem was, the commander didn't want my help. But I couldn't just sit there. L1 Or Bust is set in the future (2040s) and is a short story in the Remembered Earth Universe: Cislunar Series.
