Timeless Drabble

From Timeless

As I rounded the bend on the bridge, and walked down the stairs, I saw her lying on the floor. The tears began to penetrate my old wrinkled skin. My former captain, my friend, the one who I secretly loved, dead.

My memories had hunted me for many years. I always knew that the crew had died, but somewhere inside of me, I always held out hope that maybe some survived.

But seeing her cold limp lifeless body frozen intensified my emotion. In my heart I hoped that it was a quick death, so that she didn't suffer.

I sat in my former command chair, the same chair was next to me, but it was empty, and so was my heart- It was empty without her.

The tears began to come again, because I wanted her with me. But I knew that if we failed today, she would never be with me.
