space rocks

The day of the funeral has arrived.  You leave the residence to go to the building outside where it will be held.  You’ve never seen so many cars in one place.  There are cameras everywhere, all kinds of people are recording the event.  No one has entered the Hanger where the service will be held, everyone is standing next to the reception building and a small group of people are standing inside the reception area of the blue residential building.  You see Professor Jane and Doctor Penner walking towards you from the crowds.

 

“Hey kid, you don’t look well, we’ve been worried about you.”  Doctor Penner walks toward you and places her hand on your forehead.

 

“No, you don’t look so great either, both of you.  Have you been sleeping at all Professor Jane?”

 

“No.  How could I?  Hush, Charlie, here comes his family.”  Her face turns pale and her hands start to shake as they approach.
