Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.

He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!

A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.

"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.

"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."

"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"

"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."

Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.

The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.

"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."

"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."

The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"

Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."

"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.

With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.

Time


Even if we both break down tonight

And you say you hate me

And we go to bed angry

I know everything will be alright

I'll be here waiting

I promise I'm changing

I just need

A little time to show you I'm worth it

I know that I can be a difficult person

I'm a stress case drive you up the wall when I'm workin'

Actually I'm prolly worse when I'm not you don't deserve it

Make you nervous 'cause you know I'ma break soon

Every time I do I say something that hurts you

Actin' like I'm gone, but we both in the same room

I don't like to be wrong which I know you relate to

And I know I make you feel like you're at the end of your road

That's when I look at you and tell you I'd be better alone

That's just the pride talkin' isn't it cause both of us know

I'm the definition of wreck if you look into my soul

Comes out the most

When I feel I'm in a vulnerable place

Made a lot of mistakes

I wish I knew how to erase

When I'm afraid

Might get distant, and I push you away

But no matter the case

I'ma do whatever it takes

Even if

Even if we both break down tonight

And you say you hate me

And we go to bed angry

I know everything will be alright

I'll be here waiting

I promise I'm changing

I just need time

I, I need time

I just need time

I, I need time

Time, time

Yeah

Way before I bought you the ring

We were fightin' back and forth like you were wearing the thing

Two passionate people not afraid to say what they think

Lead to passionate conversation when it's hard to agree

You know me well sittin' on the edge of my seat

Lookin' at life over analyzing everything

Always depressed tryn to find a better version of me

Searchin' for somethin' I knows prolly right in front of my feet

Stubborn as me?

Maybe not but you're close to it

Got a lot of issues I'm tryna work through 'em

Going to therapy for you's somethin' that's worth doing

When I know you been there for me through all of my worst moments

And I know it hurts knowin' that I carry this weight on my chest

Making it difficult for me to open up and connect

A lot of regrets

I apologize for all of the stress

That's not what I meant

To do

You know I love you to death

Even if

Even if we both break down tonight

And you say you hate me

And we go to bed angry

I know everything will be alright

I'll be here waiting

I promise I'm changing

I just need time

I, I need time

I just need time

I, I need time

Time, time

I just need time

I, I need time

I just need time

I, I need time

Time, time

help me im really busy and don't have time to do this ​(its about Kony 2012)

With its antennae flicking like whips, a cockroach probes the ground. It stops when it detects an opening at the base of a wall. Even though the crack is wafer-thin, this nocturnal creature isn’t about to turn around, not when a bright light shines behind it. There are gentle puffs of air back there, too, and a scientist’s occasional nudges. Once the scientist seals the other exit, there’s only one way out. So, the desperate creature bashes its head against the crevice a couple of times. Then it pitches downward, squeezing and squirming through the tiny slit.
