Behind you the module burns.

Before you . . .

Cold. Unimaginable, bone-chilling cold. The sun so small, so far away. The land and the sky bleached of color, drained to faint red or blue tints on varied shades of gray.

You shiver in your vacuum armor. The forced landing has jarred its systems.

Jonas went to his own desk and began to sort through his school papers for the evening's assignment. But his mind was still on December and the coming Ceremony. Though he had been reassured by the talk with his parents, he hadn't the slightest idea what Assignment the Elders would be selecting for his future, or how he might feel about it when the day came.
