In the Future…
 
    Mark and I walked down many streets in the central city near the penthouse. The ground floor of most buildings were shops of various kinds. Living quarters loomed in every floor above the shops, reaching to the sky in the building.
    It was always a little unnerving to look up at the sky and see that strange glow over head. No sky, clouds, or sun.
    “Is it always on?” I asked looking up.
    Mark glanced up at the dome. “Yes.”
    “It’s never night here?”
    Mark said nothing in return.
    “Don’t you miss the stars?” I asked.
    Mark looked at me, “No.”
