Rudy's Literatures

Dear Journal,

I'm so glad to be safe and warm inside again. But probably not half as glad as those poor tourists I had to rescue! They'd taken a snowskiff up into the mountains to watch for shooting stars. (I know they're meteors and meteorites, but I still think the old-fashioned name is so poetic, you know?) Right? We had that winter storm advisory so I'm completely at a loss for who rented or loaned one out to them. Maybe they brought it themselves?

The holidays were coming around Owai-6. Xeros tended to stay inside during the winter, the harsh weather and the cold made the environment cold, yet perfect to spend time with the people they held dear. Feasts and gathering by the bonfire to tell stories were the hallmark of the season. As the morning sun peeked over the mountaintops, there was one Xero who cherished the holidays more than anybody else.
