A Deadly Chase in the Forest
The forest was divided into two very different worlds. On one side, tall green trees stood close together, their leaves forming a thick roof that blocked much of the sunlight. Birds moved quietly between branches, and the air smelled fresh and alive. On the other side, the land was dry and cracked, covered with dust and broken branches. The trees there were fewer, and the ground looked tired, as if it had not seen rain for a very long time.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Dylan this was an interesting plot and narrative. This poor man on the moon! Nicely done!
Marooned on the Moon! What a lonely existence that would be. Thanks for sharing your short story.
Nicely described, Dylan. Have you seen Duncan Jones' (David Bowie's son) movie "Moon" starring Sam Rockwell? The plot is similar, and I think you night like it.
Great little short, Dylan! Poor man on the moon! Hope he has lots of freeze-dried ice cream! lol!
