The Chronic Rift proudly presents "Decisions" by Michael A. Burstein.  In this half hour drama, an astronaut returns to a different Earth and yet one that is strangely familiar to him.  In order to set things on the right path, he must make the right decision or risk facing the annihilation of the human race.  Based on Burstein's Hugo nominated short story of the same title and written by Burstein himself, it is the winner of last year's audio drama competition.  Please make sure you rate the episode at the bottom of this entry and comment on it here.
