  • It is always the coldest right before the sun breaks the bleak eastern horizon. The lights from SpaceDock 1 were still visible but would be invisible soon. I remember when...
  • I used to live on SpaceDock 2 the people were much nicer. When I received an order to move to SpaceDock 1 I was disappointed because I had heard the community was always fighting
  • over petty disputes such as who captained the legendary Space Ship 'Galactivine' into cloud 9. None the less I settled into life on SpaceDock 1 and soon discovered
  • that we were all of us alike: criminals and outlaws for whom the universe had shrunk too small and the Galactic Police's reach too great. We trusted no-one, but mostly we despised
  • the outsiders from that neighboring universe whose name everyone always forgets. Embattled and embittered from both ends, we randomly broke out in song and dance.
  • Suddenly it started raining and when this happened non-organics everywhere started turning into gold and diamonds.
  • "The rain of Midas! The leyends were true!" Laughed the Profesor Acheo Logye as the rain kept turning everything into gold and diamonds.
  • The composer Adrias Hatteras was writing a new work about it, with their permission. They got free tickets to see the opera onstage. Life was turning them into cultural snobs, the
  • last thing they would have expected from themselves, given their humble origins. Once just a jar of moonshine on the porch would have made them happy, but now they were only
  • satisfied with the lap of luxury. Two hundred year old scotch & Louis Vuitton slippers by a grand pool on a private island. That's why death by pink dancing elephants was fitting.

    This ia actually interesting. How a simple spacial colony, of such humble origins could have changed to a consumist galactical society. What a story!
