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!

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.
