I really like this. The disappointment at the end is almost tangible.

First I see the vulgar title, then I see your zombie-looking avatar, then I read your ficlet…love it!!!!

Love it and love the writing style/tone.

I think I’ll find a quiet corner and have a little cry now…

I want to hear more.

Hilarious! It’s like they’re kids playing in a sandbox, except they’re adults on the Moon. Nice feel to it.

I hadn’t thought about it like children playing in a sandbox, but that’s exactly what it is. I appreciate the observation!
Thanks for all the comments!

Wow, awesome story! Your poor protagonist must be so sad! I feel for him.

That’s a great story. The title is a bit of an attention grabber, but it’s pretty clearly what Steve is thinking by the end.
