Orbiting Jupiter

by Gary D. Schmidt

Like I said, you can tell a whole lot about someone from the way cows are around him.

During the day, the air glistened with hovering ice. At night, the stars were razor sharp. At dawn, the sunlight went straight up in a hazy column. And sunset closed the day with a quick wink. No kidding. One minute it was bright daylight, and then you turned your back and it was full dark, like it was trying to catch you.

I really like this visual and this feeling this gave me! Such good writing.
