Baby's First Steps (Part 2)
Dominic is trapped outside the station, while Baby acts to save his own autonomy.
The tether pulls taut. My body jolts inside my suit as my drift is arrested. The steel braid anchors me. Inertia swings me gently around on the cable until my side softly collides with the fuselage. I haul myself back up the line, until I can wrap the fingers of both my gloves tight around the rails.

Baby's First Steps
Read my new sci-fi eco thriller set on the ISS – a complete six-part serial on Vocal Exclusive. My helmet clears the airlock and I emerge into the clarity of space. No dust, no smog, no particulates. The cleanest air on Earth doesn't come close to the purity of a vacuum.
