        Prompt: Write a 10,000 word1 short story about an asetroid
        miner marooned on an asteroid. Narrate in first person. The
        miner has a wry, ironic, and detached demeanor, but he
        really pines for his family back home. He has a number of
        robots to keep him company, including one which helps him
        with sexual needs, but as he becomes more aware of how
        inextricably marooned he is, he starts to think about
        descending through Dante's circles of hell. The overall
        message is one of increasing existential despair, akin to
        Sartres No Exit. Now, this is a science fiction story, but
        I want it to be a well-written, *literary* science fiction
        story--think something akin to Alastair Reynolds' style.

No, I haven't read it.  I'm surfing at the bagel shop.  Maybe later.

tl;dnr THE TENTH CIRCLE curator commentary.

Nonetheless, it's sensible for someone such as Salacious B. Crumb to
command Hell from the tenth circle. Because it betrays boastful "Better
to reign in hell than serve in heaven" rhetoric.
