A ship-born mapmaker charts a deck that appears on no chart — and begins to suspect the Ark Meridian isn't going where four centuries of the faithful believe.

Content note: Quiet dread and existential unease aboard a sealed ship. Cerebral, not gory.
A novelette of the Long Quiet. Sela Renn drafts corridors for the Cartographers’ Office of the generation ship Ark Meridian. Corridors don’t lie. So when her measurements insist there’s a deck the master charts have never shown, she has a choice: trust the record, or trust her own two feet.
First person, cool and exact. Six chapters. The full plan, including where the ship is really going, is in the blueprint.
