Sunstorm (2005)
“To Bisesa, looking down from the chopper, it looked like an oil rig, and a small one at that.
It was impossible to believe that if all went well today, this place would become Earth’s first true spaceport.
The chopper landed, a bit bumpily, and Bisesa and Myra clambered out. Bisesa flinched as the full force of the Pacific sun hit her, despite the broad hat strapped to her head. Five years after the sunstorm, though fleets of aircraft day and night patrolled the skies towing electrically charged grids and pumping out chemicals, the ozone layer had still not fully recovered.
None of this seemed to bother Myra, though. Eighteen years old, she was as sun-creamed as her mother, but somehow she wore it elegantly. She was actually wearing a skirt today, uncharacteristically for her, a long billowy creation that didn’t impede her at all as she clambered out of the chopper.
A red carpet striped across the rig’s steel surface to a cluster of buildings and unidentifiable machinery. Side by side..., mother and daughter walked along this path.MoreLess
