&#8220;Howie&#8230; you&#8217;re sinkin&#8217;,&#8221; a small voice piped up.
The foot spread its small toes as wide as it could, and moved just a little bit sideways, and the sinking slowed. It didn&#8217;t completely stop, but it was unhurried now, as imperceptible as one [...]]]></description>

Dust.
There was a taste of dust in Nick&#8217;s mouth.
Dust that coloured his hand orange-red and dulled the surface of the silver ring on his finger.
The ring. Kylie.

Smith stuck his head around the corner of the cubicle. &#8220;Where the hell is Zac? I need him to sign off on this invoice.&#8221;
Jensen looked up, but after a moment his gaze skittered away to the left. He shook his head, looking slightly uneasy. &#8220;Haven&#8217;t you heard?&#8221;

Maria Alvarez, the alien, moved into the path of the family of three who had just made it through customs. She flailed around in the one-sixth lunar gravity but the ship-dwellers weren&#8217;t too graceful either. As the man, woman and girl focused on her in surprise, Maria marshalled the proper words in her mind. [...]]]></description>
