Full Description

A thoughtful and intense sci-fi shorty story of survival on Venus against all odds.

In the hostile atmosphere of Venus, Osvaldo "Ozzie" Alba finds himself stranded aboard the Devil's Nest space station with only a small dog named Cookie for company. What begins as a two-week mission extension becomes a desperate fight for survival when communication fails and resupply pods miss their mark, leaving the emaciated engineer facing starvation, oxygen depletion, and the crushing loneliness of being the only human on an entire planet. As the station deteriorates around him, Ozzie must summon every ounce of his ingenuity and willpower to survive—all while accidentally making one of humanity's greatest scientific discoveries.
