The Thousand Splendid Suns Novels & Stories

Even Sophia who had been feeling sleepy just before they started the long trek was now wide awake. The world they stepped into was nothing like Sophia had ever seen before. There were seven suns suspended in the sky, or at least, she thought that they were suns. They emitted heat and emitted a dull and sickening sort of light that gave this dimension a drab look.

**Kelly Thompson's POV** The golden star doesn't just watch-it *calls*. Its light seeps into the soil, the air, the survivors' dreams. By dawn, the wasteland is unrecognizable. Jagged obsidian spires erupt overnight, their surfaces etched with the spiral-and-thorns. The survivors huddle in their shadow, their eyes hollow, skin glistening with a faint gold sheen. Even Ravel's shovel, once dull and rusted, gleams unnaturally, as if the star's gaze polishes the world into something sharper, colder.

She tilted her chin up and straightened her spine, looking at Holly with a victor's poise.

My eyes closed and breathed heavily. I want to feel the freshness of the air brought by these plants and the vitamins that the sun is showering on me. Might as well, get some tan here. "What are you doing there, young man?" Asked old Lola. "Oh, hey, Lola. I was just enjoying here the beautiful and fresh air. As well as the bright rays of the sun.

Yara awoke to the sound of gentle waves and the faint scent of coffee drifting from the porch. Jamal was already up, sitting with two mugs of steaming tea. He looked up as she emerged from the cabin, smiling softly. “Morning,” he said, handing her a mug. “Morning,” she replied, taking it and letting the warmth seep into her hands.
