This is a short story from the life of an blind alien girl that left home in search of adventure among the stars, who ended up in the bowel of some merchant vessel.
Author's notice: This was a writing exercise for one of my alien races. They are blind and only experience the world through sound, smell and touch. I liked this short quip and maybe you will enjoy it too.
