Indian Ocean | Baird Harper
59th NMW Award for Fiction.
Baird Harper of Oak Park, Illinois for “Indian Ocean”
A lifetime ago, one of NASA’s finest rocket men splashed back down to Earth and all its mundanities. Fifty years later, his latest mission is to a Montana cattle farm to handle the latest PR disaster of commercial space company Vector Intergalactic.
His journey from that life to this one has often felt longer and lonelier than a 238,900-mile moon trip, and lately he’s caught himself wondering: Did I really make it home safe? Or am I still trapped in that space capsule somewhere beneath the waves of the Indian Ocean?
