Luna's eyes opened wide,
In a room of white, where light did reside,
A comfortable cot, a peaceful nest.

She recalled the pain, the betrayal and strife,
Caleb's love, Shirley's perfidious life,
The spaceship's destruction, the robot's cold might,
And her own despair, in the Martian night.

A sigh of relief, as the doctor appeared,
In white attire, with a gentle air,
Luna's questions poured, like a river's flow,
"Where am I? Why am I here? Let me go!"

"What happened to me?" she asked with a plea,
The doctor replied, "You fainted, dear one, from shock's decree,
Heavy noise, and the Martian air,
But you're safe now, with no care."

"Your name, please?" the doctor gently asked,
"Luna," she replied, her heart still tasked,
With questions swirling, like a Martian storm,
"How do humans breathe, in this alien form?" She thought.

"Welcome to Kay Town, Luna," he said with a smile,
"Stay awhile, you'll love it here, in a little while,"
And with that, he left, leaving Luna alone,
Stunned, lost, and confused, in her new Martian home.

Luna's heart raced, with a mix of fear,
And determination, to uncover the truth here,
She rose from the cot, with newfound might,
To unravel secrets, in Kay Town's cold light.

Luna's Journey continues!...
