Nightwork

Everybody thinks the sky is the hard part. It isn’t. The core comes up on a schedule you can look up a year out, and the camera will pull it out of the dark whether you’re any good or not.

The hard part is the bottom of the frame. Something people built and then quit, far enough from town that the sky over it is still black. Nothing like that is on the way to anywhere.
