We do what we do, not what we meant to do.
“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it”— Jenna, Waitress
F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Beautiful and Damned
Star Thrower is based off of this story, which was in turn based loosely off of this story.
You may have heard a version at church or at a motivational speech or in an email from a concerned parent. I always thought the title sounded sci-fi, and naturally my thoughts drifted into space and to other planets.
Eventually, I landed here, on the moon, with a couple of giant aliens and a host of stranded astronauts. The absurdity of it all made me laugh, so I had to comicatize it.
Collected in my anthology The Antler Boy and Other Stories.
