About this audiobook
Cole Renner has hauled freight across the dust of Harran's world for eleven years, long enough to know the desert buries everything in the end. Then his probe strikes something that shouldn't be there. A ship, vast and ancient, sunk beneath the dunes for eleven thousand years. Inside, a single word waits on the wall, set in the one tongue any traveler can read: Stay.
The ship is not dead. Something inside it has been listening for a very long time, and it has wanted one thing the whole while. For someone to find it, and not leave.
Renner could strip it and sell it. The salvage would lift him and the girl he's taken in out of the dust for good. Or he could give it the one thing no one in eleven thousand years has ever offered.
A standalone science fiction short story about being found, being chosen, and what it costs to stay.
