Even in the outpost, where it was always winter, we still ate mooncakes during the mid-autumn festival. The cooks did their best with what we had. A regular mooncake in the warmer regions would have yolk of a salted egg in the middle, but ours usually didn't.
Salted eggs, if they were included, were shipped along with all of our food when the weather permits travel to the outpost -- about three months before the festival. It only takes forty days for a salted egg to spoil, unless it was frozen. But if it was frozen, then it would taste and feel horrible.
In the end, our mooncakes were missing that and a few other things. Yet for some reason, I remember them tasting better than mooncakes back home.

Me and the other soldiers on break gather around to share stories about how we got here. I used to be apprehensive about talking to other people, but their company is just about the only fun thing in this dull place. In the warmth and comfort of the barracks, my attention wanders from the conversation as I try to remember who's up for snow shoveling duty tomorrow. I hope it's not me...

The only sensation I have left is that of soft hands tracing letters on my palms.

I feel like throwing up again, but what little breakfast I had in my stomach already ran out. I've never been in an airship before, and I thought I would have handled it a bit better. I deliberate looking out the window, thinking that it might make me even more dizzy.
I'm not so excited about spending thirty more days up here anymore.

It was awfully silent. I can't hear the wind blowing. I can't hear my roommates breathing. I can't hear myself shuffling in bed. I can't even hear my ears ringing. My heart dropped as I slowly pieced it all together: I can't hear anything at all!
