Moon Life

“I wonder...”

“Oh crap, I forgot to set the timer!”

“Did it burn?”

“No, but now I don't know when it will be done. Do you remember when I put it in?”

“It couldn't have been more than twenty minutes.”

“Really? I was thinking ten.”

“Can't you tell when it's done by looking at it?”

“This is moon bread, the time has to be exact.”

“Oh, I think it will be fine, we can just check it every five minutes.”

“It's going to be ruined.”

“You worry too much. Come here, let me pour you some more moon wine.”

“I think I need something stronger. Maybe a moon brandy.”

“Rough day?”

“I'm getting fed up with this moon job. The moon paperwork has been piling up, my moon boss has been breathing down my neck to file the next moon report, and if I have to sit through one more moon meeting...”

“Hey, it will be okay. I've been thinking, we could always go back to Earth.”

“With those cows? No thank you.”

“Yeah. But I wonder...”

“What?”

“I wonder if astronauts and pirates can form an alliance.”
