Mars
The garage door opened and a rush of icy air flowed in. The kind of cold that makes you cough when you breathe it in. The moon was up and its blue-hued light illuminated the path before me. It was trash night. It was time to pull the very full trash bin up the driveway…

Blog?

An Absolutely Gigantic Pet in No Man’s Sky
