We imagine space as being black. But it’s not. It’s blindingly brilliant.


   The keyboard is smudged and dirty from where people have struck the keys. The ones that are hardly used are the cleanest. Pale white, and lonely. Poor Q. Poor X. The home row, ASDF, is the dirtiest, with S being the most smudged and each letter from that gradually getting cleaner. Poor J. E and R are very used, an island of stain in a glittery white top row. The letters surrounding E and R, W and T, are also slightly smudged, but other than that, the top row is pretty pristine. If you stare at the keyboard and squint, you can begin to see the original intention of the guy who designed the keyboard in the first place, back when the letters needed to be spaced out to prevent typewriters from jamming.
