I grew up in St. Louis, and I don't know if you've ever been to St. Louis in the middle of summer. There are days in the summer sometimes, weeks in the summer, where the temperature can be over 100 degrees and the humidity can be 100 percent.

To do something for other people when they need it most just feels good.
create imagination lives
With any kind of sci-fi, the imagination continues, and the world exists, and you create that in your own mind, and it lives in you.
