A Monkey Wrench in the Machinery

Life at Descansar - Heart-warming science fiction!

The recycling facility aboard Space station Descansar smells foul. A mixture of rotten fruit, spoiled oat milk, and larvae burned to a crisp. Most workers quit as soon as they can.

Irena, head of the recycling facility, struggles to keep the facility running.

Nobody else cares. The space station manages without it. Doesn’t it?

Garbage disposal unit #8022 stops at 11 a.m.

At first, Irena believes it is an ordinary malfunction.

But soon, she realizes something much more sinister is going on.

In the human centric Descansar Universe, “A Monkey Wrench in the Machinery” focuses down on a hidden part of a space station and what happens when it’s threatened.
