Alone

Alone. The sensors of my crashed ship were formal : there was no lifeform on this planet. Not a single drop of water, just a giant desert of dunes. I was alone beneath a splendid sky of unknown stars and I started to name them while walking, toes in the sand. I was talking loudly, pointing my finger at those new constellations.

Suddenly, my body was stopped and the shock sent me to the ground.
– Please, pay attention while walking.

I rose and continued :

This is my first drabble attempt as an answer to Scott’s post. The are lot of other participants but pay attention, some are cheating with their word count ! This is my current favourite but I would have replaced the last « heads » word by « hackergotchies ».

I write science-fiction novels in French. For Bikepunk, my new post-apocalyptic-cyclist book, my publisher is looking for contacts in other countries to distribute it in languages other than French. If you can help, contact me!
