Then, while on air, you loose it... | "Jenny, we're live on 5." The cold voice came over the headphones as I sat down at the desk, fiddling with my hands. I didn't care anymore though, and it was probably obvious to all of my friends. Ex-friends. They had sensed the descent and jumped ship.
"Jenny? Jenny I said we're rolling."

[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. |
Growing up, my mother described it to me as the constant feeling of being pushed, by something you can't see, in every direction.
I had never experienced gravity in my life. You see, my parents were the only two astronauts assigned to the Space Station Helios at the time of the Flash. Back in 2028 in the middle of a ... | 206 | 0 | 122 | 15,684 |
[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | Not for the first time, the thought occurred to me that my daughter had turned out remarkably- no, astonishingly- normal. She had been one of the first generation born out at the Lagrange Hospital, and getting her into the Aldrin Academy had been a major triumph. Seeing a toddler gracefully tumble through 0g, trailing ... | 22 | 0 | 122 | 15,685 |
[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | "Oww, my head," said the toddler as he fell. His parents laughed. "My leggies don't work," he exclaimed. The toddler laid on the cushioned floor and crawled towards his parents.
Mom bent over to pick him up, but dad waved her away. "He's going to have to get used to lunar gravity, let's see if he can do it."

[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | Ray has reached the top of the game: he has won the galactic Olympic medals for platform jumping, flying, and most of the bubble swimming competitions. A true natural sportsman some say, but others feel different.

[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | Ten year old Miranda pushed off the platform following her father down the work crew tunnels that facilitated the maintenance of refueling station her family called home. As she deftly glided amongst the arteries of the station Miranda felt a pang of sadness as she realized this would be one of the last times she would... | 5 | 0 | 122 | 15,688 |

[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | Every year growing up, our capsule grew a little bit smaller. Perhaps we were just growing larger. In an effort to save humanity from being destroyed after the great Los Angeles volcano blackened the sky, we were sent out in teams of two; male and female. Every so often, a video would play for us showing a loving coupl... | 5 | 0 | 122 | 15,690 |
[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | "Oh my god! This is so much fun." The child was beside himself as he whipped his willy and marked his territory - watching the arch his bodily waste made as he wrote his name in the snow.

[WP] A child born and raised on a space station experiences gravity for the first time. | So this is gravity…this is hell.
I had heard about this sensation before growing up, all the children of Utopia Station had. It was our enemy and our foremost threat behind the cold vacuum that existed right outside our wonderful habitat.
Here everyone knew their place, and no one was weighed down by class or the m... | 2 | 0 | 122 | 15,692 |

"How long has it been?" Panama whispered, launching himself down the tube. He floated and flew like a fish slipping through its liquid atmosphere. He'd been weightless for a long time.

[WP] A man writes a guilty confession to something that isn't illegal or morally wrong, but he feels that it should be. | I was just walking, you know? Just walking. Trying to get home like anyone else, hunched in my jacket because it's freaking *cold*. You were ahead of me, maybe a dozen paces.
I could tell by the set of your shoulders, or the way you adjusted the collar of your coat. Anxious. Sure, I was looking ahead. Nobody li... | 21 | 0 | 23 | 15,695 |
[WP] A man writes a guilty confession to something that isn't illegal or morally wrong, but he feels that it should be. | Please, read this. It's important you know. I acknowledge I didn't extend you the same courtesy, and I'm sorry.
You put time and effort into our relationship and I just brushed you off. I should have let you know how I feel, good or bad. I've been far too passive, sometimes afraid to reach out and tell you how great ... | 3 | 0 | 23 | 15,696 |

"Yes, this is he," said the voice on the other end.
"Its Thomas O'Brien, I apologize for the late call, but can you do a confession right now?"
There was a pause on the other end.

[WP] A man writes a guilty confession to something that isn't illegal or morally wrong, but he feels that it should be. | I’m sorry, I’m so very sorry. I forget that you are a person. Yes, I know that you are a person but I forget. I forget and forget and forget. I remember that I used to think about this… this… realization all of the time.
