Just 12.

I have been alive longer than those few years.

Just 12.

Time to cast away every last one of my fears.

Just 12.

No time to waste on dwelling on the past.

Just 12.

I am an adult now and time flows fast.

Just 12.

The inhospitable world of the martians.

Just 12.

Will become my hospitiable world of persons.

Just 12.

That's how long I have left.

Just 12.

12 short years before...

Before I leave and start all over.
