Earth
“The weather looks great today.”The corner of my lips twisted into a tight smirk, not wanting to give Ezra the satisfaction of a smile.“Laughing won’t kill you,” he dimly pointed out, strapping his mask across his face.I rolled my eyes and pulled the white straps of my mask behind my ears. I briefly glanced out the small, disk-shaped window and took in the luminous sight. Space was truly beautiful; a tenebrous canvas lite with beaming glows.

Then I will introduce myself and have a nice little conversation with her. It would be perfect.I am still in bed. There’s water dripping from the ceiling again. It must have rained during the night. I’ve complained about the leak quite a few times but no one seems to bother. I’ll have to fix it myself.I get up from bed and walk over to the window.
