Chapter One Walking Walking—that's one of the few things I remembered. I had been walking ever since I had landed on this planet. I didn't know how long I had been walking or how far I had come. I just remembered walking. I remembered the first time my feet touched the ground. The dry and hot sand burned my soles. I remembered when my lungs filled with this foreign air and the sun shone on my head. It was so familiar with my planet that it almost felt like I was back home.
