“Astronaut Parvaneh! This is manager RY-67…. ARE YOU RECEIVING!?!?”
“I read MA-RY67, ease up on the alarms, what’s news?”
“Airlock incident on Station 101. Debris field in our orbital path. You NEED to get back inside. Retract tether and activate emergency return protocols immediately.”
“The Food Haus….?” Parv thought.
“What is it MA-RY67? Visual confirmation from 101? We talking refrigerators, or knives and forks?”
“Donuts ma'am.” the program responded.
“Sorry…. Donuts?”
“Yes ma'am. 1-minute to contact.”
That’s when Parvaneh saw them.
“One day all those sweets will kill you….” she mumbled to herself. “Right again mom. Happy Mother’s Day.”
