Death
I was standing in my room, having woken up from the most horrible dream. I had died, in a radiation leak.
"Arnold." The ship's computer, Holly said my name. It was odd; Holly didn't talk to me unless the captain wanted to see me. "What is the last thing you remember?"
I tried to think back and frowned. "I failed my exams again, woke up in the medical bay."
Holly prompted me to continue again. "What was your last duty?"
"To repair the drive plate. That wasn't a dream. I'm dead aren't I?" I tried to pick up a book. My hand went right through it. I looked in the mirror. On my forehead was the H for Hologram which symbolised death.
