Centre of Life (in a 100 words)

The sun is often taken for granted

By Mo DarasiPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I long to see that yellow star. One that was hidden to us behind the thick veil of smog. I want to feel it’s radiance upon my skin.

I hear from the older guys that artificial ones never were the same, so I strived and struggled to migrate just to feel it.

As I step onto the moon’s surface, I think about all that I went through; skimping and saving for this. About Jarvis.

I feel my back heating and tingling. I turn around slowly and there it is.

Radiating brilliance. White though, unlike the drawings.

The Centre of life

I got this idea from reading Dana Stewart and her beautiful story below
