Space cabin
A blue planet turning, a cat asleep, nothing due today
A small orbital berth with a great round porthole looking down on cloud and coastline, the light off the Earth filling the whole compartment. A ginger cat sleeps in the bunk, a logbook lies open on the desk beside a drink pouch and headphones, and a little spherical robot waits on the far shelf. It is very quiet here, the way a room is quiet when the only weather is outside and very far below.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A clock that keeps your time.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
