DAY TVELWE

>>

"This planet was beautiful. You wouldn't believe… A ball of water… I know I've said that before. Yes, so you think that an ocean is nothing when compared to a space, and in some way I'd agree, but… This was a miracle, a marvel. You would have loved it… I loved it."

Tom stopped the recording. The miracle was lost now. In five years it will be nothing more than a memory. Some memories were good…

Red alert…

"Help…" weak moaning penetrated his oblivion and woke him up.

"What?… Where?"

"Help… hurts…"

"Bruno? Charlie?"

"Who's that?"

"Tom."

"Wha… happnt?"

Tom turned on his side and tried to get up. The aching in his chest was dimming his thoughts, blurring his sight, but he needed to get there. There was someone beside him!

"Bruno!"

The big man was laying pinned under some debris that Tom couldn't recognize. Next to him, there lay long blonde hair, mingled with dried blood. He didn't see her face, he didn't even want to.

"Hurts…"

"Bruno…"

There was a pool of blood slowly forming under the debris, to the side of his friend

"What happened?"

Tom looked around. He vaguely remembered the descend towards the moon's atmosphere. The trajectory was too high, but he was sure he would make it! They bounced like a ball and then… He must have lost control, consciousness…

And now…

"Get us out…"

"How?"

"I don't know! I don't care! Just GET US OUT!"

Bruno started coughing up blood. Wheezing. But he continued to look at Tom with those wide, frightened eyes. The eyes that kept repeating the last phrase: "get us out". The eyes that kept staring long after the wheezing stopped. With this everlasting gaze. Haunting gaze…
