The Race That Keeps On Giving - A Science Fiction Short Story (Audiobook Reading)
It was the last race of the night. The sky was pitch black, lit by thousands of stars. The tall buildings in the distance were only barely visible, but their luminescence shone brighter than any other point on this planet. I felt my heart beat faster with every moment that passed underneath the unknown below me. By the time I reached the region I heard about, I could hardly breathe. It’s not that fear overwhelmed me - in fact, it’s just the opposite. But this wasn’t a normal race; it was to save my life, and I needed to win.
