The Lie of Titan
Ice Penguin
Zen, born in the year 2442, has gone through life mostly alone, in a city surrounded by a great dome and filled with fans, the air outside too toxic and polluted to breathe.
His one dream is to escape planet Earth and reach planet Kepler-B, the only possible planet where he can possibly have a chance to of breathing fresh air, the sun beating down on him, and having the opportunity to experience nature, even if for one day, fulfilling the final wishes of his Grandmother.
But to do that, he needed money, enough to buy himself a ticket, enough to buy himself supplies for the journey, and enough to hopefully pay off anybody who would want to harm him.
He would do anything for the sake of that one, tiny wish.
Anything.
