Oh, how haunting. I love how autumny things are starting to appear in people's stories here, even when set in space. I enjoyed this!

The autumn thing was TOTALLY subconscious, until you pointed it out. I'm not even a huge fan of autumn! lol

Thanks for reading! Definitely go read agirlnamedluna's alternate take on this!

It's lonely out in space. This could be a long voyage, or have a dark ending if he can't take it any more.
It's like the ship is cursed.
Nice work :)

It's like that, indeed. *grin*

This is lovely, and so sad.

[lapis_lazuli615]

Thanks. It haunted me a bit after I wrote it.

Thanks for reading!

I really liked the simple but beautiful things that are longed for here, because they become impossibly precious when you can no longer have them.

[lapis_lazuli615]

Very very true.

Thanks for reading!

I love autumn and the colours ... so your start really drew me in. And to confess I read Luna's entry first ... and it didn't matter either way to me because I loved both the entries to bits. " And all he wanted was something so simple... so did I ... when Luna closed it with this sentence ... and then reading this made it so easy to understand how sometimes the simplest of things seem so far away ...

[lapis_lazuli615]

The simplest of things can, indeed, be so far away.

Thanks for reading!
