A Million Stars

The skies were different here. Darker, emptier. It wasn't the dimness of light-pollution, which she'd seen in so many places, from London to Trantor. And it wasn't the sparseness of worlds on galaxy-rim; even out there, one could feel the ripples cast into time by a million suns. Here, those stars simply weren't there.

It wasn't until Romana looked at the skies that she really felt how small E-Space was.


Author's Notes:

LizBee wanted some Romana fic to cheer her up, so I wrote this very quickly, using the "title of the next song on your random play" as the prompt ("A Million Stars" by Enya).
