I remember one statue of a lovely lady, you saw her face, and she was wearing this nice gown, but when you went by her, and saw her back, she was dissolving, skin gone, bones and bugs and gross... The same vanity, beauty is fleeting thing.

The crew goes into a derelict spacecraft orbiting the planet Mercury and the first thing one of them says is: "There's dust covering everything." Shortly after that, a scientist says, "Human skin. Dust is 90% human skin." Very morbid...but a reminder that we are all "dust".Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300332596847087857.post-28847586863161909082012-10-15T09:03:38.932-07:002012-10-15T09:03:38.932-07:00cage to keep her in!cage to keep her in!limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300332596847087857.post-56267818347621657682012-10-15T08:27:24.145-07:002012-10-15T08:27:24.145-07:00The bars because you are caged within your vanity,...The bars because you are caged within your vanity, perhaps?
