The Long Road

By Ari Weaver

You're the new relief driver on Big Sister, a forty-metre rig hauling water and machine parts 3,400 kilometres across Mars from Jezero City to Hellas Port. The run takes eleven days. Rhoda Pelletier has done it 212 times and doesn't talk before noon. This trip there's a runaway who needs a ride and won't say why, a man paying ten thousand dollars to carry one box off the books, and dust season coming in early.
