Aurora Rising

“Do moons choose the planets they orbit? Do planets choose their stars? Who am I to deny gravity, Aurora? When you shine brighter than any constellation in the sky?”

Humans are such fools.

Well-meaning fools, sometimes.

But fools, always.

Thing is, impossible always comes with a price.

And without a sound, I plunge into an endless, colorless sky. A billion stars are waiting to greet me.

I mean, you work your whole life for a Thing, it’s only natural the Thing be important to you.

If your squad was hard to find, or you’re still looking, then this one is for you.

That even if this FoldStorm doesn’t kill me, in about seven minutes, my helmet is gonna fill with water and I’m gonna be the first human I’ve ever heard of to drown in space.
