A little of over eight years ago, I came up with a story idea that was set on a lunar station the far side of the moon. In it, a younger scientist comes across alien messages that have been beamed in our direction from decades or even centuries ago. There are many different directions that the story could take, but I have not been able to generate an interesting (at least, to me) plot. Still, the concept bounces around in my brain from time to time, taunting me.
Recently, one of my Facebook groups posted a notice from a publication that is looking for short stories that put a positive spin on the US Space Force. While Dark Side Station is not a military story, the notice got me thinking about how that aspect might be included. It also gives a set deadline and specific requirements to follow.
I don't know if I will actually work on this idea or not, but it has been a part of my thought process for the past couple of weeks. As of yet, I have not had a clear scene that I could put down as a starting point (for my writing, not necessarily for the story itself). Perhaps inspiration will still strike.
