Almost a century has led up to this moment. Odessa City's dome is behind him as he takes the first breath of open-air. His gaze moves up from the hints of new growth on the low plain below to see what new colors Sunset will paint for him this time. He remembers a few lines from a story he read years ago. . .

. . . he imagines Sax and Maya here now - sharing this incredible event.
