The Payment
ByPublisher Description
Short Story (20 pages + Sneak Peak chapter of ETERNITY novel)
Carrie James never fit in on Earth. After killing her abusive husband, she is sentenced to spend the rest of her life in the research of the Plutonian moon, Charon.
Isolation is always challenging, but 3 billion miles from Earth is more than a life sentence–it’s death to everything she knows. But the payment must be made, not only by Carrie but also by Earth.
