From the moment Maroon opened his eyes he knew something was wrong.

For one, he was staring at what seemed to be the sky when he was supposed to be staring at a grey ceiling. He shielded his eyes from the setting sun and sat up, which is where he encountered something that was wrong #2 - his head felt way too light. Upon trying to stand up, Maroon encountered numbers 3 and 4 of what was wrong: his leg sent shockwaves of pain through his body and worst of all, he was covered in sand.

Ugh – sand – he thought to himself. He hated sand. Not only is it rough, coarse and uncomfortable, but it also gets everywhere and it takes forever to preen the individual grains out of one’s feathers. It looked like he was going to have to take a shower, which he also hated because it took forever to dry out his feathers. Lose-lose situation, he thought to himself!



But his mind snapped back to the crisis at hand when his eyes finally adjusted to the brightness of his current location, which seemed to be a… desert? Wait, where was he? He turned around only to face the far-off smoldering wreckage of the ship he was supposed to be the captain of. It all came rushing back to him – the engine explosion, the red klaxons wailing... he and his ship crash-landed on some barren desert planet!!!
