Eggs? No, no, no, not the right shape.
Clementines? Closer, but the colour is way off.
Large tortillas? Better, but think much bigger than that.
Io? No, too big. That's Jupiter's.
Pluto? Surprisingly, that's a third too small.
So what is it then? Look up, really look, what do you see when the light is snuffed out? What's round and nearby and hangs in the night sky?
Eco lightbulbs? No! It's the bloody moon! The sun is eclipsed by the moon!
About the Creator

I’m a writer, a storyteller, a lunatic. I imagine in a parallel universe I might be a caricaturist or a botanist or somewhere asleep on the moon — but here, I am a writer, turning moments into multiverses and making homes out of them.

Perfect Little Pirate
The rough, sodden rope bit into her fingers as she swung over the roiling water far below. Reaching out with the toe of her boot, she managed to catch hold of the rain-soaked railing of the ship- and promptly slipped. Throwing herself forward, she landed hard on the deck, slamming her elbows against the wood planks. The sharp yelp of pain quickly bubbled into a laugh, and she rolled onto her back, laughing up at the gray sky as a torrent of rain washed away the soot covering her skin.
