Stuck In A Cabin With You
HISTORICAL FICTION ENTRY:
Pete stared out the window, surprised at his boredom. 'Cabin fever’ was becoming a thing. Alan and Dick each had areas staked out, and Pete felt like any incursion on his part might lead to an argument.
All he could see outside were stars. The moon would come into view in a few minutes, but that brought its own set of painful thoughts.
The quarantine order had come several days ago. John signed off saying, "You're safer there than back home."
Apollo 12 was stuck in lunar orbit with a mysterious pandemic spreading on Earth. Pete did not feel safe.
