by Lore Mackenzie
Stranded on a distant planet locked in perpetual storm, a lone scientist endures isolation, failing systems, and the slow erosion of certainty as communication with his team grows increasingly fraught. As rockets flee a poisoned world, two women fighting to heal the planet uncover a truth that turns hope into catastrophe—just as the planet reaches zero. When a supervolcano forces the evacuation of a colony world, a woman must leave behind the only planet she’s ever loved—and the life she built there. Expected Variance is a series of stand-alone short stories exploring far away planets and desolation. Like a little music while you read? Find the Variance playlist here on Spotify!
