“Benjamin St. Fred”

Some things are better loved from a distance.Benjamin St. Fred has spent a very long time looking toward Earth…Small, blue, beautiful, and impossibly far away.Then one day, he decides to come closer.What follows is a story about loneliness, good intentions, impossible proportions, and the strange amount of space sometimes required to care for something gently.I first wrote Benjamin St. Fred back in 2011, across a handful of sticky notes, and painted a picture to go along with it. Fifteen years later, he found his way back.Benjamin St. Fred is an original Randoverse story about distant friends, enormous feelings, and what happens when something far too big simply wants to say hello.Featuring the Randoverse song “Small Changes in Scale” by How Great Were the Robins.Another chapter in A Guide to Levitating at Twenty-Three Degrees.
