Where Mountains Roar

“One can only be lonely in relation to people. And being alone in the desert is to be alone with this expanse of wildness and wilderness, or rock and sky, stone and thorn. In loneliness, I feel closed in on myself, cut off. But in the desert, alone, it is as if I were expanding to join this vastness. Instead of being cut off, I was becoming part of it.”

-Lesley Hazleton

Day 15 — A fanfic

How about I share one of my own? I’m still pretty happy with this one.

“Le Petit Homme Vert,” a crossover of Carl Sagan’s [film adaptation] Contact and Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s Le Petit Prince. Because I’m that much of a nerd.

Summary: “When the Little Prince returns to planet Earth, he finds himself in the desert once again— but it is not the desert he is familiar with. In the course of his wandering, he meets two astronomers, Doctors Kent Clark and Ellie Arroway.”
