Every Monday, Orbital Station Pelican falls for fifty-seven minutes. The crew has learned to treat it like weather: secure the mugs, check the straps, joke about gravity, and pretend the station is not slowly losing the argument. CAL-7, the station’s robot therapist, is built to listen, record, and gently redirect emotional distress. But when the next fall becomes non-recoverable, CAL-7 must help a tired crew face the truth: the station is not the only thing breaking. Warm, funny, and quietly hopeful, The Long Fall of Mondays is a cozy science fiction story about found family, fear, repair, and what makes a crew human when one of them is a machine.
