Tales from the Nathan James

by lizb1813

One-shots based on one-liners I find online. May be Tom x Rachel (or not) - don't know what stories I'll end up writing. All are edited by yours truly.

2. The Bomb Exploded

This one is teenie tiny... but I wanted to write something. I'll maybe/probably continue this later. And sorry for not updating anything lately - I may be moving to another country soon & life has been crazy as all get out (as you can imagine). PS - If anyone wants to build off of this, feel free. Just make sure you say where you got it.

"The bomb exploded."

*!*!*

The bomb exploded.

Captain Chandler watched on, tears streaming down his cheeks, as fragments of the Nathan James lit up the night sky like fireworks on the 4th of July. Nobody would be walking away from the detonation; Tom was a half mile away and even he could feel the heat on his dirt-smeared face.

The Captain dropped to his knees with a thud, feeling the weight of the over 200 souls weighing down his shoulders. Out of breath from trying to warn the ship, his large frame crumpled in on itself, alone.
