Send us Fan Mail A planet with no sun is passing through the far edge of the solar system. It lost its star four billion years ago and has gone around the galaxy eighteen times in the dark since.

A hydrographer who spent nineteen years mapping river mouths is the one who fits the hard suit, so she is the one who carries the light down. A standalone second person story about being the first person to stand somewhere, and what the first light ever to fall on a beach does to the things that live there. Narration by Bill with the crew of the Matchstick on the comms channel. Original score and sound design. The Midnight Frequency, stories for the threshold between waking and sleep. Support the show
