Larceny At The Spaceport

The Spaceport They Built In Arizona - For Your Eyes Only

This week's words:

Crinkle; demand; navigate.

Larceny At The Spaceport

The lights will crinkle
in their orbits, amused with
me, with my demand
that you navigate
the long years from the Dog Star
back to me despite
all my bad acts, all
I said to you, and how I
stole the best fuel cells.

    You know, everything else can be forgiven, but the fuel cells - that's a different story.

  7. Thank you all.

    Harlequin, it's in the setting, isn't it? And being clear but indirect so you have to add the specifics yourself. There really are techniques, Virginia, and there really is a Santa Claus. That's me honoring the gift in it. I never know if it is going to work but I am fairly confident by now that the gift is going to show up again.
