On Exoplanet 25472 there is an animal, a fuzzy cute animal, that lives in the deep purple caves of the Noegeum mountains. It lives most of its life underground, but for two months each year it emerges to bask in the weak sun. The first part of its body to emerge is the three fingered arm, to reach up between the strange weeds and measure the strength of the sun. Because the planet is a no-visit ecological zone, I sat for days in an anti-gravity ship 6 kilometres away, waiting for the first sign of life. #scifi #exoplanet #MicroFiction #bloomscrolling #nature #photography
