| Summary | "Let Space Be Your Coffin" by S. M. Tenneshaw is a science fiction story written in the mid-20th century. The narrative revolves around themes of betrayal and revenge set against a futuristic backdrop where space travel is possible. The story delves into the psychological turmoil of the protagonist, Bert Tanner, as he grapples with his emotions stemming from jealousy and ambition, all while navigating his complicated relationship with his business partner, Miles Berendt, and the woman they both love, Carol Grant. The plot unfolds in a competitive setting within a space freight company, where Bert Tanner’s resentment toward Miles Berendt escalates as he learns of Miles' engagement to Carol, whom he has secretly loved. Consumed by jealousy, Bert hatches a plan to eliminate Miles and reclaim his aspirations, even going so far as to tamper with the ship's autopilot that Miles and Carol will be using for their wedding trip. As tensions rise, Bert's nefarious plans ultimately backfire, leading to a devastating explosion that resolves the conflicts in a tragic yet poetic twist. The story explores deep themes of ambition, love, and the consequences of revenge, framed in an engaging science fiction narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
