Gloomy night, limitless void, my needle spaceship was fencing the outer-space like a needle seeking holes through thousand of black silk layers. It was the 1503th day of my expedition and the first day of my meeting with an alien. His ship was glowing in the dark, a 4 holed button missing from its trouser. Our ships both stopped in the moment, graced by curiosity. From my porthole to the others, i could see an inhumane but gracious figure, so bright that i forgot all the stars around me. Slowly but surely, i engage my ship closer, my hand closer to the heart, the alien's ship follows my lead as we engage ourselves in a short space waltz.
Time passes, we finally reach each others, our spaceships docks each others.
Hatches open, atmospheres merge, bitter sweet breathings collide, mood at its climax, we finish our waltz embraced together into the silence of the endless night.
