The Solar Craterball League needs a new superstar. This bruh is the only one who thinks he’s it.

If brightness is a measure of intelligence, Slab Steele doesn’t exactly have a high albedo. But that didn't stop him from becoming the hottest craterback prospect to come out of Texas Space University… ten years ago. Now Slab is a washed up never was who'd give anything for another shot to start in the League--as long as it doesn’t involve another stint with the Venus Flytrap.

Luckily for Slab, two die-hard Flytrap fans are about to give him that coveted fourth chance. The only problem is he didn’t sign up for the journey.

It was supposed to be a simple job, a quick stink and dink before the playoff match then back to work. Unfortunately, a certain Robotic Bathroom Attendant may have hit the mark a little too hard.

For the past year or so I've been weaving in and out of a re-listen to Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series. It's been about five years since my last re-listen, and I'm on the thirteenth book now--aptly named The Thirteen-Gun Salute. I just came across this passage, which caught me off guard:

"Jack," he said, as they walked around the rim of the crater to a point where they could hail the ship. "Do you reflect upon Ganymede at all?"

Now I was inspired by many, many wonderful works from a multitude of genres when I challenged myself to turn my goofy space sport idea into something resembling a readable story. But the fact that this passage--from a fictional tale told during the age of sail with it's references to rims, craters, ships, and Ganymede--reads as if it could have come straight from a page of my attempt at sci-fi has me wondering if it was the subconscious seed that led to the idea in the first place.
