The bone-deep chill of Arctic isolation meets spectral horror in this disquieting short story from speculative fiction author Liz Blackburn.

Stranded at a remote observatory with only a malfunctioning radio and her own unraveling mind for company, Elma Peters is used to silence. But when an eerie melody cuts through the static—followed by a message in a language she shouldn't understand, but does—Elma begins to question what's real and what's memory. And whether whoever's trying to reach her is sending a message from halfway across the world... or from the other side of death.
