Ni un centavo rojo

     
Daily writing prompt
How much would you pay to go to the moon?

Not a red cent.

Why go to a desolate rock? You take away all the enjoyable things that life on this beautiful planet offers us. I mean put some thought into this.

You would have to wear a suit completely enveloping you 24/7 for starters. Even if you accepted this, you wouldn’t be eating steak. You would not be enjoying a cup of steaming hot coffee either, no sir.

You might find enjoyment in the thought or dreams but really? Would you pay millions of dollars to leave the one place you can breathe naturally? It’s where you can wiggle your toes in lush grass. You can wash your lover’s feet in a warm spring and BBQ on a sunny day.

I mean sometimes I like walking in a summer rain shower. I enjoy smelling the scents of nature. Frankly, I enjoy watching women sashay by in a tight pair of jeans, not some space suit.

Naw, I’ll keep my feet planted firmly on Earth. I’ll only leave if I am jumping for glee. I await the real space travel of passing naturally into the next realm when this journey is finished.
