Racers Of The Night: Science Fiction Stories By Brad R. Torgersen - Plot & Excerpts
Henrietta Lechtenberg stirred reluctantly, then flipped herself out of her hammock and floated over to the west wall of her sleeping chamber. Gripping a support rail with her left hand, Henrietta tapped at the wall’s touch-sensitive display surface with her right. The proximity alarm went silent, and a full-color visual representation of the asteroid 33 Riga appeared—along with a small, flashing vector symbol indicating whatever it was that had blundered into Henrietta’s domain in the middle of her sleep cycle. Henrietta frowned. The visitor wasn’t natural—it was altering course and velocity, and would intercept 33 Riga within the hour. “So they’ve finally come,” Henrietta said, her frown deepening. She slammed her hand on the wall. The image went blank. Then she used support rails to pull herself out of her sleeping chamber, down a narrow corridor lined with hardened vacuum-proof foam, and into the house’s central hall. As had been the case for many years, the hall was silent, save for Henrietta’s breathing.
