Glimpses of Opal City
A Stardrifter Short-Short Story
Opal City Station is a medium size ring-shaped space colony in the Alliance. Though there's nothing all that special about it, OCS is home to hard workers, layabouts, dreamers, lowlifes, villains, and heroes. Just regular people, living a life in outer space.
Sanderson Simm races space drones in a highly competitive amateur league. He's been an avid member of his community for years, but has yet to claim his place among the best. Today will be different. Today Sanderson Simm will do anything, including break the law, to gain First Place, and be recognized for who he is. Today is the day he wins!
A quick tale, told in be-bop prose poetry style.
