Planets Under Glass

By Maria Pellegrini

Meba was a rather graceful humanoid, always in a good mood and very proud of his important profession and his powerful motormembrane which took him fluttering off to work each morning... he had nothing less than a Nebula550! He lived in a luxurious apartment among all the comforts and entertainments that, he was fond of saying, his ancestors could only dream about. But the reality of Meba’s world was turned upside down many times and our kind humanoid together with his fellows certainly had not seen the last of the infinite possibilities the Universe can surprise us with.
Perhaps a bit shocking for some but at the end of the day, as they used to say inanother galaxy, "planets you visit realities you find".
