Kevan Smith - Table

There is no choice.  No way off this planet, no charts to guide him back to safe environments. 

The escape-pod is his survivor, friend, companion, parent and protector.  ‘Mother’ protects him, feeds him, fosters him, teaches him, finds and collects water from the water-table.  It doesn’t rain.  Dew rises to the surface when one of the moons pass and draws it from the groundwater aquifers. 

It’s exciting to watch thousands of batbirds swooping or thundering grumblebums chasing pandas or many hunting grazing herds.  Catching crankycats attacking moosespiders is fun until various body parts get thrown about.

But alone………. always alone.
