"What are you crazy?"
Cal didn't know what else to say. So he repeated himself.
"What are you crazy?"
Keith stared out the window. His back facing Cal. Staring out into the blue marble. He wondered how much of the ocean was piss. How much of it was plastic . With enough water...

winter
arrived. Cal's first since leaving earth. Without the snow. It didn't feel like winter here in space. The only reason he even felt somewhat connected to winter was the calls from Marianna. She had moved to someplace where there was a lot of snow. She loved it. An ice...
