Chapter 1: Intro

Page 27

Rico and the alien driver make oddly plain small talk as the truck putters its way through space, stars whizzing by in the background. Rico just stares blankly ahead and grips the seat tight to keep himself together as they chat.

The alien turns to Rico, "So, where you headed?". Rico nods ever so slightly but doesn't turn to the alien, "Home."

The alien turns back to the "road". "Well, you'll be able to catch a lift back at the station, that's for sure."

The alien leans in towards Rico while still keeping its eye stalks focused ahead, "Say, it could be a while. Do you have your card on you?"

Author's Notes:

I'm pretty bad at small talk, but is it easier or harder with a creature from across the Cosmos? I mean, you'd have way more to talk about, but it's probably harder to make a connection.
