Space Station Mir

Rhett Bruno, author of The Circuit: Executor Rising , has a short story, "This Long Vigil" , published in the June 12 issue of Perihelion SF online magazine. Click the link to read the story; it's free! Don't want to say too much to spoil it as it's only 11 pages long, but just like The Circuit: Executor Rising , it has a slightly different, gritty-yet-hopeful take on the human race in space. Deals with ethical issues of transporting populations across vast times and distances; reminds me of movies like Interstellar (2014) and Moon (2009).
