Synopsis

What’s it like to live on the moon? Let me tell you, it’s not a damned picnic. After a personal tragedy struck my life, I signed up for service on the moon. My name is Belle, and I’ve been here for six years now, mining Helium 3 for the Moon Rock Mines Corporation. The other tech and I keep the machines running so we make our quota each quarter. The shifts are long, the work is dangerous, and the freeze-dried meal rations leave plenty to be desired. Every two years, I get a new tech to help me. And I have to say, Jace is the best by far. Hard-working, talented, good with his hands…and yes, even though I’ve sworn off getting involved with another tech, I’ve covertly checked out his other assets a time or two. What do you expect? I live on the moon. I’m not looking forward to his contract being up in a few weeks. But maybe he isn’t that keen to return planetside, either. A proposal in the kitchen has me wondering if I can risk my heart with a tech again. And if I do…what will happen when his contract ends? *Moonlight is a 15,000-word science fiction romance short story. It contains adult language and scenarios.*
