Darkness came quickly and the moon emerged among a sprinkling of first stars. John tried to identify the stars, but became confused. The only one he was certain about was Venus, which seemed brighter than the rest. As the sky grew darker, another star appeared to shine even more brightly than Venus, and John speculated that it could be Mars. “Ah, Venus and Mars,” he laughed softly. “Sounds like an album title.”
