“I think you’ve crashed on my planet this time.” He crashed on my planet the first time then. I picture Donnelly orbiting my universe and landing at my feet. It excites me as much as this inversed reality where I’ve fallen at his. “Uh-huh,” I say, breathless. “Welcome to Earth, space babe.” “It’s peculiar here,” I sing-song. “But I already like one of its inhabitants.” I’m looking right at him. “I just wish…” I could remember you.
