frost.
Earth?! The most polluted place in the universe!
Years ago, scientists declared that other planets were safe to live on; planets with plenty of water and potential to grow food, somewhere we could start a whole new civilization, a whole different society.
That’s how I ended up on Planet 0209.
Planets didn’t have specific names anymore, there were so many discovered each day that scientists didn’t have time to name them. Of course, the inhabitants of the planets came up with nicknames for them. Ours was called Frost, due to the lower temperature. It snowed most of the time, and when it didn’t, frost covered everything.
Not the most creative name, but it wasn’t a big deal.
My parents had moved there after they were married, and after I was born, both died. I remember I used to ask how they died all the time. People just told me that they couldn’t adapt to the different climate and foods.
I accepted this as the truth and never questioned it. I was raised to not really care about things like that.
