Lifespan Deathwatch

[Damien McEwan]

Today is a horrible day.

Jaina is riding the train back to the spaceport.

Nivek is here with her, but she feels completely and utterly alone.

'He's hiding it', Jaina thinks to herself, but she can see- No. She can feel that he's afraid of her.

After everything that happened today, She can't blame him.

If only she'd have allowed Sarah to die in the cab last year when she was supposed to, things would be so different now.

She doesn't know how to fix this.

Nivek is riding the train back to the spaceport.

Jaina is with him, but after everything that happened today, he's afraid of her.

He's hiding it, and doesn't know what to do next.

If only he hadn't watched a psycho murder a pregnant woman in the coffee shop just a couple hours after being told about her, things would be different now.

He's considering cutting his losses and leaving her, but he feels completely and utterly conflicted.

'Today', Nivek thinks to himself, 'is a horrible day'.
