i'm an engi student and i can never get past the first paragraph of a writing prompt. here's my half-assed attempt:
>The beauty of a planet is deceiving. At certain scales, it's the weaker gravitational forces that govern the macroscopic behavior of the cosmos. At those very scales, it's those very scales themselves that govern beauty. It's only now that I realize this mistake, having been fringed upon on all sides by the reddish-brown hue of a bulimic's sick bucket for some time: every dermal pore gasping for air in an agonized dry-heave. Space looks the maw of a technicolor yawn, from the surface of mars. It was at about this thought, lost in it the way only a person with bad vision can really ever be, that it started drizzling. And, rubbernecking in the way that precipitation can only prompt, I choked on the last of my own spit. On the horizon to my left, through the hot haze, and like a bad photoshop: a smouldering sign silhouetted by the vacuum of space behind it.
