    The larger of the two setting suns was barely visible from up here, a sliver of light on twww.onedoor.cche horizon painting the clouds pink and gray. It was Dex’s favorite time of day, the twilight between the two sunsets when the heat dissipated and long shadows crept over the desert.  It had been a month since they crash landed on this planet, a month of searching wreckages and junk heaps for the parts necessary to fix their spacecraft. Only the natives of the planet - the species and planet name a mystery to Dex - with their tough, scaly skin and translucent second eyelids were able to stand the brightne...0Czone door
