113 Words For You Today

A team of workers is sent to planet Gliese 12b to build a gravitational portal. To survive the cold, each person is limited to 138 words per day.

Soo chooses his words carefully. Even a groan from pain feels like a loss. When a blizzard hits, he risks everything to retrieve a vital crystal, too reserved to ask for help. Lost in the storm, he survives the night in a crashed cable car.

Returning at last, exhausted but alive. He picks up the phone, calls Earth, and waits. When the line connects, he smiles and proudly says,“Hi sweetie, I saved 113 words for you today.”
