The days dragged on for hundreds of years. My father was unable to take the people away. The rain was a constant - and it is; it falls relentlessly on that abandoned piece of land; there are days and days of rain, sometimes heavy, sometimes light; you can t see the sun for two days in a row. When it rains, the eyes can barely see; when it doesn t rain, the fog is such that nothing can be seen. The only thing you know is the sea and the town - nothing else. Poseidon thus remains an unknown world. But that wasn t the purpose for which the Kepler G2 mission left Earth 345 years ago.
