Night In The Freehold Forest

"Outpost of Empire."

Selene down
sunrise near
still dark
star-powdered sky
gleaming lake
wailing uhu
cold air
constellations
orbiting light cruiser
bare ridge
blaster cannon with barrel "...gaunt across the Milky Way." (p. 109)

I have listed objects seen against the Milky Way here but seem to have missed this blaster cannon barrel although I will add it to the list now.

The action approaches a climax and a confrontation but nevertheless we pause to appreciate the night scenery of Freehold.

Kaor, Paul!

Very good, esp. that stark line about the "gaunt" blaster cannon.

Ad astra! Sean
