:grin: :thumbsup: A coupleof years ago somebody wrote a story about an abandoned drone, its wait in space for years, and rogue drones’ communication/psychology/sociology. Really impressive. Can’t find it ATM, I’ll keep looking.

Especially loved this sentence. So elegant description of space.

Thank you for your entry! It has been listed on the Contest Submission Roster. I wsn’t sure where to put it, so I put it under Poetry unless you’d prefer Academic.

Thank you. Since there is no category for “humor”, i think poetry fits best :slight_smile:
