i have an idea....
for a thing
but im not going to tell you the thing
because i want it to be a surprise.

so im going to write this.

steam rolled off the hull of the ship.even though it was mid summer and i was in the desert i was shivering. a crew bustled about, setting up the ship for the journey. i looked up at the stars , 4am is a good time to look at the stars, i thought. they dazzled in streams of jewls in the sky. this is last time ill see you like this.
the shuttle was ready 30 minuets later. the inside was the definition of regulation. everything was white or grey. the seats that took up most of the cabin were grey metal with grey cushions and grey seat belts. when everyone was seated and buckled in they did one last check before preparing for take off. most of the passengers were alone, sitting with sad or stricken faces. even though almost all of the passengers, including myself, were leaving for a better life, it was difficult leaving the only place you knew.
