From the Sun (a #ShortStory)

First thing he noticed 
when a headache woke him
was that he was awake.

Grabbing the ladder 
to climb down from his bed,
he noticed something missing:
the ring finger from his left hand.


It wasn't really missing 
but it shouldn't be lying on the floor,
not attached to his hand.

For later concern.
Before waking up the crew
and have them open the pods,
he first wanted to determine 
if they had succeeded.

After his kind had ruined 
their home planet,
they had recruited the best, the brightest and the wealthiest 
to try again at a nearby planet.

This one was chosen 
for several reasons.
One of it being very compatible 
because it was 
the third one 
from the Sun
