Artemis

by Andy Weir

I flipped off the control panel just to assert dominance. It didn’t seem impressed.

I looked each person in the eyes. “I’m not asking you to do this for me. I’m asking you to do it for Artemis. We can’t let O Palácio take over. This is our one chance. They’re bringing an army to town.

And hey, once that happens, you should come visit. I’ve learned a lot about the value of friends lately and you’re one of the best friends I’ve ever had. I’d like to meet you in person. And besides, who doesn’t want to come to Artemis?

It’s the greatest little city in the worlds.

None of my stories have a moral or a point to be made. I just want the reader to think “well, that was cool” when they’re done.
