" It is said the reason the moon is so battered and cratered is because it protects the earth. It keeps the sky safe from meteors and flying debris. The sky does not know this. The sky is lonely. Each time the sky sees the moon it is much too tired from the long day of keeping the empty company of the sun. The sun is painful to the sky. It scorches and burns it. But when the sky sees the moon it blushes. The sky becomes a deep red color but soon rests for the night, exhausted from the pursuit of the sun each day. Longing to stay for as long as possible but always turning to the sweet darkness of sleep. The moon does not realize the sky loves it so much." Four strangers meet and try to piece together the mystery of a psychological link they all share two years after the sun imploded on June 9th, 1974. *the artwork from the cover is not mine*
