Opening of Dark ParadiseA Story by ValargrimA soldier battling across the stars. To lay down his helmet one last time. For he found what he was looking for. The one place that he desires most. Paradise.Hal Cluster - Zone 7 Date: January 5th,
5032 Falling into the atmosphere. The
world coming up. Seeing the glow of the pulse. One last second to watch my
world burn. The ashes rise up. Stabilizing trajectory. Landing amongst the
ruins. The sky’s ablaze. Starships
falling. Nothing can stop the beating of the drums. The coms are filled with
the need. The drive to move forward. Barking orders from the leadership long
since evaporated in the toxic cloud of what use to be the operations divisions.
As the last echoes fill the radio waves only one sentence rises above the
screams, “Truth has awakened.” The soldier, with a reserved sigh, opens his
helmet and takes a deep breathe of the Miasma. “Paradise…. Just a taste.” © 2014 Valargrim |
