Rowley's Ride

The space pirate, Captain Edwina "Roaring" Rowley wakes in the vacuum of space, in orbit of the old harvest moon, Cakana, despite the fact her body is literally frozen stiff. She's utterly confused by the fact Nuva, the goddess of death, didn't come for her soul.

In a mad attempt to puzzle out what's happened to her, she looks back on her life and the mistakes she made along the way, particularly those that led her to become a pirate, beginning with the loss of her first love, followed by the construction of her mythril guitar and the day she met the queen of the pirates, who made an offer Rowley couldn't refuse…

Will Rowley continue to circle Cakana until her orbit decays and she burns up in the atmosphere or will her prayers for relief from the lonely solitude of space be answered with rescue?
