Three-phase games

Light-a-plenty from the sun today, but still needing a sheltered spot to keep off the keen edge left over from the clear night. By evening the few random patches of condensate had started to form patterns. There was no agreement about what sort of cloud to be and a scuffle ensued. Hardly enough atmospheric energy to power a game of rock, paper scissors and, as dusk shuffled in from the East there were still rags of fluff overhead as well as distant slabs with ill-formed bubbles on top. A single jet left an orange arrow above it all.

Later, the cover filled in somewhat, making the three quarter moon resemble a WiFi tablet hidden under a duvet. Wide gaps held stars; Orion striding, hunting Mars tonight.
