    Summary

    Grace has trouble sleeping, but thankfully Rocky is there, willing to help.

    Set between Chapter 2 and 3 of one of my other works, He Wears the Rose of Youth Upon Him.

    "Thanks for tucking me in. I feel as snug as a bug in a rug.”

    Huh? None of that made any sense. “Is being bug good or bad?!” I stomp twice in question.

    Grace laughs. “Sorry sorry. Right now, it’s good. It’s just a bit strange. Tucking someone in is a bit of a parental action for humans, and normally it’s only done for little kids. I don’t mind. If I’m honest, it’s pretty nice. It feels like you're taking care of me.”

    Good Good Good. It means less confusion when my actions mean the same thing for Eridians as it does for Humans. “Correct! Rocky always take care of Grace. Always always always.”

    Summary

    Missing scene from the book of Rocky finding out how old Grace is, from Rocky’s perspective.

    Grace has mentioned that he is a scientist as well as a teacher to human children. On Erid, only our Elders would step down from their purpose to impart their knowledge on the next generation. Grace must be very old indeed to become a teacher, and to be chosen for this mission.

    Summary

    ”Have robot arms check you arm before you get Beetles,” Rocky insists. He taps the wall again. ”Been hurting you more since before power outage and arms no change cloth in sleep.”

    “They probably didn’t because of the outage. I’ll have the NannyBot check it before I get ready,” Grace says, absentmindedly rubbing the offending appendage. He’s not exactly surprised that Rocky’s noticed his increased discomfort. He figures it’s because of the lack of painkillers and from spending hours inspecting the fuel lines for Taumoeba contamination, but doesn’t voice it. He knows the Eridian already feels bad about his ammonia burns and pushing him off the pain meds.’

     

    Or: Grace and Rocky run into an unfortunate complication when getting ready to execute their plan to escape planet Adrian.

    Summary

    A two-column poem, Stratt and Grace's perspectives of his last moments on Earth.

    yes, i relive that day when i close my eyes. // i can't do it
    you cried // you're murdering me
    and i condemned // a sacrificial lamb
    with clear-eyed cruelty // to the slaughter
