Jetsam

By Craig Walston

Jetsam: Unwanted materials or goods thrown overboard from a ship or washed ashore.

Far from Earth and many light-years past that, twin suns spin in tandem. The two twirl constantly, bathing light, heat, and gravity on anyone foolish enough to get in-between. Focused in the middle of their wrath lies a husk of rock. It is the singular point of the stars' dual rage and remains fixed between their ceaseless struggle. And on that rock 1,029 frightened people huddled together. They are the people of Jetsam.

Outcast from society, the Jetison'd struggle to survive against natural elements, the harsh landscape of space, and now a new threat: a greed driven corporation. The Jetison'd turn to three broken people for a glimmer of hope.

Ven, a guilt ridden man who's crimes landed him on Jetsam. Once a leader of the Faith, now on the run. A shadow of his past self, can he deal with his demons and become something new?

Kraelik, a brilliant cybernetic engineer, in a desperate race to finish her life's work and prove herself to those that cast her out.

Obolim, alien in his motivations and communication yet trying constantly to be understood. He sees more than most, but can rarely convey a coherent thought.

These three are tasked with saving the people of Jetsam, but may just murder each other before their ship takes off.
