Synopsis

A short story by Andy Weir, first published in 2013 and later collected in The Egg and Other Stories. A man named Rod wakes in an endless meadow under a sky that is neither day nor night. The bored alien entity that took him wants a human to keep it entertained, so he bargains for his freedom. Whimsical, satirical and full of absurd turns.
