At that instant, Mai Dong felt the area around her warm up as though she had been immersed in warm water. This made her recall Earth's sunshine. Mars never had such sunshine. As it was a lot farther from the Sun than the Earth, the Sun was nothing but a light-emitting light bulb to Mars. It was bright, but it didn't bring any warmth.
Mai Dong leaned against the window and looked far out at the golden glow in the darkness.
She suddenly smiled.
The sun was setting. The magnificent flames disappeared into the darkness as the mountain-like shadow seemed to slowly rise in front of Mai Dong.
