Centre of Life (in a 100 words)
The sun is often taken for granted
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

This is adapted from a short story i previously wrote (not as short as this one of course) called "Centre of Life"
I got this idea from reading Dana Stewart and her beautiful story below

Irrational Fear
He was agitated. His foot tapping furiously on the floor. Sweat beads racing down his face as he looked up nervously at the giant clock in front of him. Quarter to two. His time is almost up, if he doesn’t think of something now it’ll be too late!

I Am a Prisoner who Dreams of Prisons
The dream always starts the same: I feel the cold bite of wind gnawing through clothes entirely inadequate to protect from the weather and I realize I am standing in line. Ahead of me and behind me are other inmates, identified by the burgundy scrubs we were issued upon arrival. I don't know where we're going.

Thank you for the shout out! I wanted to read the full piece before I read this micro one. (Left a comment over there, too.) I really love the micro challenge. You did a good job on this one. Jarvis is a great character.
Lovely work Mohammed. Taking for granted the only source of all energy in the star system is so like us humans...
Awesome short, Mohammed! Very descript and WARM! :) Looking forward to reading the longer version. I'm going to have to look back over my stories and see if I can draw out a little one! Such a great idea! Also, super cool of you to link Dana's story as well!
