Epilogue: Reset

Mars was dusty, as always. Orange smoke being whipped around by angry winds.

Tom had the strangest feeling of déjà vu but pushed it aside.

He had always wanted to move to Mars and now that he was finally in control of his life he realized that he could move here now if he wanted.

The first place he went was Velvets, he knew Velvet from his Marquis days. She was a sweet bajoran who ran a no-nonsense bar at the end of the strip mall.

The first thing he noticed when he entered the musky old fashioned bar was Velvet, tending bar and talking with two female patrons.

He began to approach the bar and a smile spread across Velvet's face when she saw him.

The two patrons turned to see what had caught her attention.

Tom froze, "Moira? Kathleen?" his voice was incredulous.

Velvet smiled slightly and left the family alone.

"You know, Tom," Kathleen said. "I never could understand why you would hang out at these places but I must admit I'm enjoying myself."

Tom let out a bemused laugh. Not sure what to say he remained silent.

"We've come to kidnap you," Moira said with a huge grin. "We're all going home."

"How did you know that I would come here?" he asked as Moira and Kathleen each placed an arm over his shoulders and steered him from the bar.

Kathleen shrugged and Moira had a suspicious glint in her eyes.

"Trust me, Tom. You don't want to know."

The End! Done! Finished!
