Description

The city of Londinium is made up of several thousand people scraping out an existence in a man-made cavern. With Earth’s surface uninhabitable, the sub-city relies on highly sophisticated life support machinery for their continued existence. Keeping all that machinery in working order is a difficult task, considering it’s been in place for close to a century.

On one hand, Londinium has Tarriq to oversee the upkeep of the systems that make continued life possible. He’s a specialist when it comes to this. On the other hand, Tarriq is an ill-tempered misanthrope. If he could live a hermit’s life with his partner Meshani, he would in a heartbeat. But the sub-city desperately needs his unique skills.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Tarriq tries, the machinery needs more and more upkeep with each passing year. Multiple unexpected equipment failures have Tarriq running himself ragged. He can keep jury rigging the systems for only so long, as they really need to be replaced, and that job is entirely too big for just one person.

After an unexpected encounter with his boss’ son, Tarriq now finds himself having a hard time keeping *himself* together when faced with a mentally and emotionally abused young man with nowhere else to go. But befriending Kellen might prove to be critical in getting the failing life support systems overhauled before they completely shut down, an eventuality that would doom the only home they’ve ever known.

Updates weekly on Tuesday.
