“Can’t guarantee it’ll arrive all in one piece. Won't get there before November.”
“You're hired!”

The one unsaid #law
Is to NEVER touch my fur

We put camp beds on the lawn and turned out the house lights. As our eyes adjusted to the night sky, stars came into focus. The perseid shower wasn't due to start for a while but I was sure Venus was moving. The #unearthly light grew as it got closer, until it filled the horizon.

As one, they floated to face the cupola to observe the detritus that used to be home.
Luca, calm at first but increasingly frantic, examined the structure of the windows "This has to be a #prank, right? These panes are maybe screens?" They turned back, tears streaming "Right?"

Going back in time

Try to remember the kind of November
