Ground Beneath My Feet, Ground up in the Sky
By Jayde Holmes
At first, I was fascinated by the little blueish-white ball in the sky, not afraid. My first memory was of my mother teaching me that ground beneath my feet was called ‘earth’ and that ground in the sky was called ‘moon’. Through the glass of the bio-dome we would look up at the moon, and Mum would tell me stories about the two million people that had gone to sleep in technological coffins just before the meteorite hit and destroyed the Old Societies. Then Dad would tell me stories about the brave scouts that had flown to the moon to see if it was safe to wake the sleepers in the coffins.
We have big skyhooks in the sky, and twice a year they are lined up with the skyhooks around the moon whilst our fuel supplies are in surplus. Every year for the past two thousand years we’ve sent one person to the moon in the stasis shuttle, and later that year the previous scout returned. Unless something went wrong.
Things did go wrong sometimes.
