The Ghost Below

Fia loves her job as an electrician aboard a space-faring city vessel. She is skilled at her work, and appreciates not having too much facetime with other humans. 

She just has one problem: a colleague has taken an interest in her—interest she doesn't return. 

When she finally works up the courage to tell him no, he takes offense and reports her to her supervisor for insubordination.

Her punishment? Her boss assigns her to repair the conduits in the bowels of the ship, reported to be haunted by a ghostly voice. 

As Fia nervously delves into the darkest, most unknown corners of the ship she calls home, she wonders just what she will find down there: friend or foe? Or something else entirely?

This is a short story set in the Rove City universe, set roughly 150 years prior to book 1, Midnight Wings.
