The Hall: A Drabble Collection

by Come Lady Death

There is a deserted hallway on Destiny that leads everywhere and nowhere. It is a hall of secrets, short confessions written in sharpie on the walls. People tell things to the wall that they would never admit aloud. Dreams, hopes, and fears...

10. I Never Want To Go Home

I love it out here. I never want to go home.

The unimaginable colors of FTL raced by in silence. Without warning Destiny dropped abruptly out of roiling color and into the diamond dark of normal space. Lisa Park looked out eagerly, wondering what they would find at this stop. Life, death, peace, war. Who knew?

Lisa loved this; the beauty and excitement and danger. She could naturally do without the danger, but the things they saw and did... Those made everything worthwhile.

Life here was so much harder than life on Earth. It was so much stranger, darker, madder...

And so much better.

She never wanted to go back home.
