Keri was alone on the observation deck for a short moment. Lately, people couldn't stay away from the observation deck. Everyone wanted to see home. Small, insignificant, Earth. It looked as little and helpless as it actually was from up here. Everyone Keri ever cared about was down there on that tiny blue rock, and they were all dying. She guessed that Justin wanted to believe she never cared about anyone but herself, but that wasn't true. She cared deeply about at least a half dozen people down there, probably more than they would ever know.
But how stupid and pointless it all seemed now, the fuss everyone made when she came out here. As it turned out, she was so much safer out here than they were down there. The little shits wanted nothing to do with the moon.
