Jellia’s heart beat as the daughter led them out of the room. This was it. This was going to be the first time her feet had set foot on an actual new planet… she not counting the shuttle station, as it was all cement and skydome and she couldn’t really see anything.
They went out a rather boring door and started walking across a skimmer lot, but she had eyes only for the planet. The sun… it was a subtly different color. The thought just a touch more yellow and red. Of course, she had read about that.
And then she stopped and spun around. There it was! The bright blue ‘star’ that was so close, and so bright, that you could see it even during the day! Apparently it meant that when it was up at nights, which was more during the colder season, you could see outside as well as you could see inside with the lights on.
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
If you get lost, check out my ‘Table of Contents’ which I try to keep up to date.
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von
