Another Snippet

So, writing is going well. I'm still building up my stamina and today have managed to pull of twenty minutes or so - hopefully will manage thirty or forty before I go to bed. Reading, too, is carrying on as well. I am looking forward to reading the new Harry Potter book here in a couple of day's time.

In any case, I've a new snippet for you to read! Yay! This is from early on in Chapter Two. Enjoy!

The grass was shorter here and he could see better. He laid out the bedroll and stared up at the stars. The moons rose and the stars emerged. He flinched. Moons. Two of them - a larger blue one, deep blue but striated with bands of paler hue and a smaller burnt-orange crescent, hanging below and somewhere off to the right. He stared up at the sky, suddenly feeling very, very small; very, very lost; and very, very frightened.

Whether it be some scrap of memory remaining, or some base instinct somewhere buried in his soul, he knew. The sky was wrong. There wasn’t supposed to be two moons - just one, silvery, small and distant. Staring up at the sky, his whole situation well and truly began to sink in. He was on another world. Some other planet, some other dimension -

Does it really matter? I can’t even remember where I’m from. But - its wrong. Wherever it is, its so far, I can’t even really get my head around how far away home actually is. 

And he was utterly alone, cut off so completely off from his friends and family that he couldn’t even remember their names and faces. It was a uniquely horrible feeling as he sat underneath the vast, uncaring alien sky.
