Drabble – Autobiographical Excess

The download cafe was always well stocked, with its row upon row of purple and black designs, showing stars streaking around spaceships, or astronauts looking meaningfully into the middle distance, or exotic alien races – often alien ladies – inquisitively reaching out.

Well, it was different-looking!
