Well written. I wonder how it must have been. I remember Nightfall by Asimov. People seeing the stars once in 2000 years.

Thank you. We take things like sunshine and stars so much for granted. It does us good to read about life without them, it makes us grateful for the small things. π

Interesting take on the prompt Kristian. I become very ‘SAD’ when there is no sun for days…I can’t imagine a century! π
