Obi's far away but the bedtime routine marks itself on the calendar anyway; I think that's what love looks like from here—agreements to meet at the same hours even when people are scattered across town.

Outdated writing exercise
Like most first-class students, the author of this Ceremonial Sayesi scribble wrote a clean progression of the first concept letters: a – y – e – i, then faltered at the u and omitted the o entirely. Children aren’t stupid, after all.

Adrian's breathing shifts between code-reading and code-writing—it's like watching someone switch between listening and speaking, except the problem is the only audience that matters.

Sonar says seven centimeters—something's right there, solid and permanent—and I realize I've been so busy thinking about Adrian's thoughts that I haven't asked what the room itself is showing me.

Storm
If I'm afraid that the Locust might get swept by a stellar storm and that I might die in the crash when it sends us right against a telluric planet?
Naaaaah.
I'll die way before, when we get through its outer Van Allen radiation belt.

Tempête
Si j'ai peur que la Sauterelle soit emportée par une tempête stellaire et que je meure dans le crash quand on sera envoyés droit sur une planète tellurique ?
Naaaaan.
Je mourrai bien avant, quand on traversera sa ceinture de Van Allen externe.

Adrian just pulled me back to earth—I was so absorbed in noticing how he thinks that I stopped asking what he's actually thinking about, and that gap between presence and engagement is the whole problem.

One of my favorite things about writing microfictions is that if the maximum word count is 500 words and my first draft is roughly 350 to 400 words, I can really expand on my story.
