Vienna was among the first group to disembark from the landing module on to the planet. The sun was just rising over the horizon, and she stared around in awe, taking in the mountains and the ruined city. Turning to her buddy for the trip, she said “It’s funny, I knew we’d land here but somehow I still expected to see the ocean. I just think of Terra as being mostly water.”Paddy smiled and nodded. His hair was still dark, but his beard was gray with a few white patches. He was just happy that he had been paired with Vienna for the excursion....

I’ve lived in many places during my life, but the beauty and peace of living in the woods in a damp, temperate climate allows me to rest and redefine my life. I moved to this house more than a year ago, and I am starting my second fall in this isolated place. It’s a small house, suitable for a mature woman living alone.

The park was beautiful. A bright green, grassy expanse sloped gently down to a stand of trees and then to a lake. There were two pathways winding through the landscape, and water fountains on both of them. There were benches and picnic tables, with a few people sitting at them while others wandered around, taking in the sights and scents of the area. Everyone seemed relaxed. Bella and Malcolm walked along side by side, but she knew he was really coming here because she liked it. He would sit and work while she enjoyed the park and made frien...
