The Egg, by Andy Weir
A short note, now that I have LiveJournal working on my laptop again (if things started looking weird for you in the last couple of days, check that Ghostery isn’t blocking a site tracker named “Live Journal”.)
A few days ago another board I frequent asked people to post things they found online that gave them comfort and/or inspiration. I found this story a while ago upon rediscovering Andy Weir (after Casey and Andy finished I kind of lost track of his stuff until The Martian was released) and I can see why it was one of the most popular stories he’d ever written. There’s a simple message of hope that I find quietly irresistible.
