Nellas

I'm flying to Pluto to do some work for my supervisor. When I get there, she's already there. We work together to produce great science, the kind of stuff that will change the world. I look up, and I see the most beautiful sunset of my entire life. Brightly lit orange clouds, a painting. They move and push against each other. I try to capture it on my phone, but I can't focus it very well. I look up, and the clouds part, and a space ship lowers through the opening. It looks like a ship from Star Fox 64 or something. It hovers there a moment, as if studying us, then goes back up through the clouds. The clouds fade away, and all that's left is the beautiful darkness of space and endless stars behind it.

I won't ever forget that sunset.
