A criminal is exiled from the moon to the Earth.
OK, so I gave away the plot. Frankly, it isn’t worth all that much. The story basically exists for the sake of the shocking, “Oh my gosh, they think the Earth is Hell!” ending, which is sufficiently obvious that I used the idea myself in a story I wrote in my mid-teens, which in and of itself is pretty good proof that it isn’t worth much.
