6788

"6788 was entering Earth-orbit when his space-ship broke down. He stared into his Viewer. Half the planet was bluish-green. The other half was in shadow.

What would happen to him now?

Hopefully, he wouldn’t run into any two-legs. So many stories of castaways zapped with murderous sprays. Or squashed by giant feet."
