SURVIVORS AND SAVIOURS

Abstract

White noise, the rhythmic acceptance and expulsion of recycled air, and my own inner dialogue keep me company as I take my first step. [...]while ploughing through this microbial minefield, I focus on stories of long extinct beasts: of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects. Even this pathetic number stressed our pool of viable uteruses, forcing us to transfer as many as three to the younger soldiers.
