Surface Conditions: A short science fiction story

Growing up, Petra struggled to survive on a unsympathetic world. No mother. No secure shelter. Lack of food. She learned to survive on her wits. The agency represented unimagined opportunities and a way out.


Petra knew that the agency's survival challenge could make or break her future career chances. Survive one week under extreme conditions. Find water, food, and shelter in a place that appears to lack any of those necessities—with the most minimal of tools.


A challenge unlike any she had ever encountered in her life.
