Liberty's 100 Word Challenge Entry

We are taking part in the 100 Word Challenge; this week's theme is red.

Who else floats around in space?

Drifting.  Just Drifting,

Moons dance around you.

Why can't I move out of this cage of orbit?

No one can.

If I did, it  would be the end of the world, my world,

Not anyone else's.

Bumps on my surface, all a dusty red.

So far away from the sun 

Only a glimmer of warmth reaches me,

Not enough.

I used to have flowing rivers,

Now they've stopped.

I might have had life,

If I did,

It's dead now.

I'm desolate

Who wouldn't be?

If they were

Mars.
