Katya should be on top of the world. She’s overcome a traumatic past and now she’s part of the first permanent settlement on Mars.
So why do things feel so wrong?
The colonists are confined to a small base on the surface of a hostile planet, so perhaps it’s only cabin fever. After all, she’s got great friends, an exciting career, and an ex-girlfriend who – she’s sure – would do anything to have her back…
But with cracks appearing in the relationships between the crew and nothing but empty Martian desert beyond the safety of their domes, it’s far too easy for the mind to drift. And when it does, it can be difficult to tell what’s real, and what’s pure imagination…
Past Imperfect is a short story set during SI CLARKE’s White Hart series. It’s written for science fiction readers who enjoy having their preconceptions challenged.
A great short story. I read it when I had almost finished Livid Skies. It was interesting to see events that I'd recently read from Georgie's perspective, told from Katya's side.
