The Space Between Stations
Miriam first noticed the sound of a spoon striking porcelain: three uneven taps, followed by the scrape of a chair across what she thought was linoleum. Beneath these domestic noises ran a mechanical hum. She adjusted the equalizer and leaned toward the monitor, listening as water dripped into a metal sink and someone cleared her throat. The recording ended before the woman spoke, leaving Miriam with the peculiar impression that the silence had been interrupted rather than restored.

Flight 608
Amos Hensley had spent thirty-one years helping strangers disappear into the Atlantic, and he had never once considered the possibility that the ocean might return them. His job at Blackwood Tracking Station was simple enough to explain to a child and difficult enough to ruin a man’s life. Identify aircraft, record their positions, relay their requests, and maintain a permanent log of every transmission received. The military called the work surveillance. Amos called it bookkeeping for the living, a distinction he considered increasingly important as the years passed. He had learned that a man could endure almost anything provided his employer supplied the correct terminology.
