Eris on Cardamine

[Doc Holliday]

Doc continued looking. He was a wreck. He hadn't had a shower in days nor had he changed clothes in an equal time frame. He was starving and week and mentally drained. Still, he dug a little deeper to push onward albeit slowly.

He got to another junction....another leap to the next level. He just sighed as he turned his back to the wall and slid to a sitting position on the floor and began talking to himself.
"I can't.....I just can't," he said aloud to himself. The hunger, the mental anguish, the pain in his tired legs, the fatigue were finally getting to him. He then took out his datapad and pulled up a picture of Midori and the kids.
"Dahlin'" he said, "I think I've finally met my match. It looks like I'll be dying in a quest for knowledge." He managed a smile and kissed the datapad, "I love you, Dahlin' Midori. Take care of our kids." With that, he shut it off. Tired and weak, his arms fell to his sides, the datapad falling out of his hand next to him. Doc was sleeping....but for how long?
