It seems Rand Hart and Dorothy Gale have something in common: there’s no place like home. Here is today’s snippet:
He walked over to the stairs and went down to B deck. His cabin was on the lower deck, but he decided to stop in at the bar and smoking lounge instead. He went through the pressurized airlock. Four other passengers were in the lounge having a smoke. Hart took a seat by himself and set on the table a cigarette paper and a package of Briggs Pipe Mixture. He put tobacco in the paper and rolled a cigarette. When finished, he put it between his lips and lit it.
Yes, he thought, it would be good to get home. Be good to enjoy his winnings. Enjoy some time doing nothing.
