Just One More Step A project of Horrified Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About In the dark corridors of a distant starliner sits the reaper. He has a grin on his face. Mankind has done it again, gone where no human has been before and now they’ve paid the price. Perhaps they found an unfriendly life form, or adrift in space tore themselves apart through isolation and despair? Maybe a robot went awry or a crewman disappeared? Did someone say murder, sabotage? Was the fated voyage of the SS — doomed to failure from the very beginning? It’s time to set sail on the solar winds and blast those retro engines skyward- but beware! Just one more step could well be our last.
