These lines describe Senior Benefacio as he is stranded in deep space:
The changes his body was going through, also,
heightened the sense of distance in time and space he felt from other humans,
from his old life. His skin was taut over his bones like it had been stretched
by some machine. When he took the stardrive suit off as he rested on a planet,
his body was all sticks and knobs. His knees and elbows protruded out from his
legs and arms like misplaced interruptions of his long, thin, narrow limbs. But
all along, despite the lost weight and the fluctuating vital signs, he felt
fine. Better than fine.

Six Sentence Sunday
Just came across the sixsentencesunday stuff on Twitter. Here is my first contribution. It is from the third book, "Altered Earth," in my scifi series (A Brief History of Humankind). I am currently 75 pages in. The selection is from the opening of the book and begins to tie together a few of the plotlines from the previous books:
"The moon had bided its time for the past several years. Watching the humans as they leaked through the Landing Rock Gate and spread out across the system like bacteria spreading across a petri dish. They were following unknown orders. Their seemingly independent colonization of the Nova Sol system nothing but a carefully choreographed stage of a much larger plan. What they saw as the inevitable expression of humankind's drive to expand was merely the outcome of an ancient conflict of powers. Powers that both dwarfed humankind and needed it."
