"This Little World" by Carl Frederick

This is the usual 'scientist/engineers' solve a problem type of story with an interesting premise. A film company wants to film a monster movie in space so they set up a miniature world on a space station. Problem is a power glitch causes the airlock hatches to seal and they have to figure out how to use whatever they have to try to get it open before they suffocate.
