Her great-grandmére had spoken about the old time a lot. About the old planet. Her eyes always seemed to stare into the distance as she spoke about a childhood in the countryside. About playing hide and seek in the small forest behind her house and about the other children that lived in the neighbourhood

This is really quite lovely and nostalgic, and the ending so bittersweet.

Thank you very much! I did want to write sci-fi but with an intimate, relatable touch. I did a lot of thinking beforehand and then when I sat down it just all flowed out. I am very happy with how it turned out, so your comment is really meaningful.
