The Blessing
You can read "The Blessing," a new flash fiction by Viktor Kuprin, set in the Kosmosflot universe, at 365 Tomorrows. The story takes place in the Commonwealth of Independent Stars (CIS) Space Force Depot at Dustri, a military-industrial complex that spans the entire star system. Details about the priest were inspired by the holy men of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and are based on actual customs and rituals.
To quote their own introduction, "365 Tomorrows is a collaborative project designed to present readers with a new piece of short speculative fiction each day. Utilizing the broad palette of science fiction, our vision of the future creates a diverse pool of stories with something for everyone to enjoy.
