Mary Jane 2040

“It was no where near as cold as Mars yesterday, it just looked like it was.”
There was a thin covering of snow on the side of the lake – a lacy shawl of yesterday’s snowflakes had settled on the path. The sky was a ball of white light with no heat to penetrate through layers of goose down and wool. This morning’s ice had thawed and dripped from bare tree branches.
Though it was winter, it was almost warm. There was no wind sneaking through stitched seams and up under coat hems. Higher up in the atmosphere, mare’s tail clouds cantered across an azure sky. Cloud layering on cloud, the white sun, the egg-yellow of a sunset yet to come.
It was like Mars but there was more ice, and atmosphere and a hint of summer sun.
