Drabble 53 – Success (courtesy of SithKnight-Galen)
Gloval looked out the viewport at the Earth, saddened by the devastating destruction and bone tired from the fight they had just endured with Dolza's forces.
Around him, his officers displayed similar feelings. Kim stretched in her seat after sitting there for so long; Vanessa removed her glasses and tiredly rubbed the bridge of her nose; Sammie, the youngest, cried without inhibition and Claudia, the oldest, simply shook her head sadly.
"The mission is a success, Captain," announced Exedore.
Gloval looked at the smoldering Earth before saying, "It is many things, Exedore, but a success is not one of them."
