the horizon is very close

on a small world.....and the sky isn't very high....you can see right through to the stars all the time, day or night. And the days and nights are real short and fast, with the small world spinning around so quick.......and with the small gravity to match the small world, it's amazing that the quick spin doesn't just throw you off through the thin sky to the looming stars.....you kind of feel on the edge all the time, like everything is transient.....even more transient than it really is.....but all the big bountiful worlds are filled up by now, so we poor children of the future must make do with what's left.....little bitty stray worlds nobody else wanted to bother with before....there are some good points I guess....it's only a hop, skip, and a jump to the next town, because there's not enough room for it to be far away.....so it's easy to visit with your relatives on holidays.....
