"Jason Gurley will be a household name one day." – Hugh Howey
(The Dark Age is a short story.)
On the day she was born, he left for the stars.
He watches her grow up on screens. Misses her first words. Misses her first steps. She's never kissed his scratchy cheek, or fallen asleep on his shoulder. He's never wiped away her tears, or sung her to sleep.
