1 An Empty Space Elliot Seidel , 2012 single work short story
— Appears in: Voiceworks , Winter no. 89 2012; (p. 43-45)

'Outer space is a lot like a studio warehouse. It's big, vacant most of the time, and generally pretty dull. My universe, however, has a film crew with cameras rolling all the time. My wardrobe is limited to three space suits in varying shades of grey. They like it if I try to make sure the logo is always visible so everyone can see who brought me here. Who spent the taxpayers' money. Who 'beat' the Russians. Who is going to be the one to stick the damn flag on the surface. And, most obscurely, who went and stuck a guy in a studio for a couple months to fake the moon landing. That last one they won't ever know...' (Publication abstract)
